The Australian Raven (Corvus coronoides) is the largest Australian member of the genus Corvus and one of three Australian species commonly known as ravens. It is a more slender bird than the Common Raven of the Northern Hemisphere but is otherwise similar. It has all-black plumage, beak and legs with a white iris, as do the other Corvus members in Australia and some species from the islands to the north. It is distinguished by its prominent throat hackles and grey bases of its black feathers. More

It is likely some Australian Ravens were recorded as Little Ravens in the survey. However, the Little Raven's behaviour and living patterns differ from those of the Australian Raven, and therefore they do not compete with each other. The calls of the two birds also differ. The Australian Raven has a long sorrowful ending to its call whereas the Little Raven has not. The Australian Raven has obvious hackles, that is, feathers standing out on the throat. More

Description: The Australian Raven Corvus coronoides, male is 50-56cm long, while the female looks similar she is a few cm shorter. They are the same size as the Forest Raven, but larger than the Little Raven which is only 40-45 cm long. The area at the base of the lower bill is bare, on the Australian Raven but feathered on the other Ravens. More

Australian Ravens are black with white eyes in adults. The feathers on the throat (hackles) are longer than in other species, and a bird tends to extend these when calling, while holding its head and body in a horizontal position. Australian Ravens are usually seen in pairs. Another aid to identification of this species is the absence of wing-flicking while calling. Young birds resemble the adults, but have dark eyes, shorter throat hackles and often the presence of a pink, fleshy gape. More

At 52 cm (20 in) in length, the adult Australian Raven is an all black bird with black feet and beak and a white iris. The plumage is glossy with a blue-purple to blue-green sheen, greenish over the ear coverts, depending on light. The underparts are not glossy. Its throat feathers (hackles) are longer than those of other species. It can be distinguished from the two species of crow occurring in Australia by the grey base of the feathers, which is white in the latter species. More

Here's an Australian raven (Corvus coronoides) for you. Although they aren't quite as heavy as the American raven, they're still very handsome and have more of a bluish sheen to their feathers. Ravens do eat things that aren't carrion. They also eat insects and small verterbrates and occasionally they even hunt another bird. Once in Canberra I saw a raven attacking a pidgeon. More
