This small and very sociable raven bird is completely black. The carrion crow is a songbird species from the corvidae family. It inhabits warm to cold Eurasien from the northern edge of the Mediterranean to the Pacific and occurs in all open to semi-open habitats with trees. While carrion crows live mostly in swarms as young and unpaired animals, breeding pairs build territories that actively defend them against their fellow species. Their nests usually build the species in the crown of tall trees.
