About These Birds
Cape Crow
Gralha-do-cabo (Corvus capensis) — Gralha da África Oriental e Austral com bico fino. Distribui-se da Etiópia à África do Sul. Habita campos abertos, pastagens e savanas áridas. Plumagem negra com reflexo verde. Alimenta-se de insetos, sementes, frutos e carniça. Frequentemente associada a gado e campos lavrados onde encontra alimento.
