BioKids - Common raven
What do they look like?
Common ravens are large, black birds with a wedge-shaped tail. They have long feathers on their throats, which are called 'hackles'. Common ravens are the largest species of perching birds (passerines). Adults reach up to 69 cm in length and from 689 to 1625 grams in weight. They can be distinguished from other crow and raven species by their large size, more wedge-shaped tail, thick bill, a tendency to soar and glide, rather than flap their wings (as in crows), and their harsh, croaking calls. The sexes are generally alike, although females may be smaller.
