[@jordancambridge4106]

Like the over 1000 Ravens I saw at the Grand Canyon camping pretty close to my families camp site. We left them alone. I did saw hi and did not bother them. Mostly out of not wanting to get fucked up by 1000 of them it was pretty awkward just seeing them all and them ignoring humans while humans ignoring them. Just regular being enjoying the Grand Canyon together.

Right, like that's the main idea everything else while interesting was fluff or situations you don't see the bird actually but yes sir Raven bigger lol

Got bigass... raven/crows in Australia. They sound like "AauGGHH aughhh Awoouuughh" quite deep. Abd have a fluffy neck like a raven but sound like a deep crow and are big. I think theyre ravens but i dunno :\

[@Jane-oz7pp]

​@@cheesypiesThe ones you're talking about are Forest Ravens, yea. We have only two very small crow species. But everyone is wrong about this and repeating mistruths. The only way to tell is the number of pin feathers on their wings. The size thing may be true to an area but is not true across the family.

There is an easier way: When in flight, ravens have a diamond shape at the end of their tail. The tail feathers on crows run straight across the width of the tail.

[@stevenn1940]

When they're flying, sure, but when they're landed? Best way is to listen for "nevermore"

[@michaelburk9171]

That's the quickest way I've found to tell the difference. Behavioral differences too. Ravens don't form big flocks. Raven can soar like hawks. Crows usually just flap along. Total subjective here. But if you see a crow you might thing wow or cool. With a raven you say damn! Even more subjective. Ravens give a since of presence. You can't ignore them. You can understand why native cultures believed they were there at the beginning. Or that they were the far ranging eyes of Odin

Try and see if you can find the territory of a mated pair near you during nesting season- that way you know you’re interacting with the right birds, and roughly where to find them. You can tell because they’re always together, without the rest of the flock.

A cat was crawling out a limb of the elm outside my window towards a sparrows' nest full of babies. Five sparrows dive bombed the cat, to no effect. Two flew away and returned with two blue jays. The jays dive bombed the cat only twice, then flew away. The cat inched closer to the nest, in between the sparrows' dive bombs. Suddenly two crows appeared. One landed on the limb about 18" in front of the cat. The second landed maybe a foot behind the first. I could almost hear the one in front say, " Hi, kitty." Then I almost heard the cat say, " Oh, sorry! Wrong tree!" as it backed away and finally jumped down & ran.

[@michaelburk9171]

Nature documentary right there. Evidently when crows get in big enough groups (murders) they'll mob or even kill bird predators like hawks. 2 crows couldnt really hurt a cat much. But they could sure make him miserable. Looks like that cat has had run ins with crows before
