Carrion Crow Nestling
Corvus corone (nestling)
A Carrion Crow Nestling is an altricial chick kept in a bulky stick nest in trees, hedgerows, or on ledges. It is mostly helpless at first, crouching low and relying on parents for warmth, protection, and food. Its diet is delivered in small pieces and may include insects, worms, carrion, eggs, grain, and scraps. A notable feature is its wide gape and persistent begging calls, which help stimulate feeding by the adults.
