About These Birds
Australian Raven
The Australian Raven is the largest corvid in Australia, found in open woodland, farmland, and coastal areas across southern and eastern Australia. Weighing about 660g with a wingspan of 71.2cm, it is entirely black with a shaggy throat hackle. It feeds opportunistically on carrion, invertebrates, small vertebrates, and human refuse.
Eurasian Magpie
The Eurasian magpie is one of the most intelligent animals on Earth and the first non-mammal demonstrated to recognize itself in a mirror. These bold corvids build elaborate domed nests of sticks and have a well-known attraction to shiny objects, though this reputation may be exaggerated.
