Torresian Crow

Corvus orru

Torresian Crow

The adult Torresian Crow is a large black corvid found across northern and eastern Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands in open forest, savanna, beaches, farmland, and towns. It is alert, adaptable, and often patrols perches or open ground for anything edible. Its omnivorous diet includes insects, small vertebrates, eggs, fruit, carrion, grain, and discarded human food. A notable feature is its pale eyes and loud nasal calls, which help distinguish it from many other Australian crows and ravens.
