Ravens Vs. Crows

 
 
 
I would like to start off with the Common Raven. the Common Raven is one of my many favorite birds. It is found almost anywhere it can be found in swamps, forests, deserts, and canyons especially.
The Common Raven eats a variety of insects and small dead mammals, much like a vulture. Many questions about ravens and crows pop up, Like what is the difference?
 
 
Crows: They are smaller than the a raven.
Their primers (the feathers on their wing tips) are much more close together in flight.
Also their beaks are yellowish in color and short and not that curved.
They dwell in fields more than ravens.
 
Ravens:
They are much bigger than the crow.
They live more in desert areas then fields.
They have slightly longer and curved beaks.
Their primers are spread out in flight.
They are more of a scavenger bird then the crow.
 
I hope that answered some of your questions on The Common Raven and The Crow.
