House Crow
Corvus splendens
Adult House Crows are highly adaptable urban and coastal birds, common around markets, ports, farms, rubbish sites, and villages. They are omnivorous scavengers and opportunistic predators, eating refuse, grain, fruit, insects, eggs, carrion, and small animals. Adults fly strongly, perch boldly near people, and use pecks, dives, and loud alarm calls when confronting threats. One notable fact is their exceptional problem-solving ability, which helps them exploit human-altered habitats across much of their introduced and native range.
