Carrion Crow (Corvus corone) is a medium-sized bird with predominantly black plumage, glossy and iridescent in sunlight. It possesses a sturdy bill, strong legs, and broad wings.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Carrion Crows are widespread across Pakistan, inhabiting a variety of habitats including urban areas, agricultural fields, forests, and open countryside. They are adaptable birds, thriving in both rural and urban environments. In Pakistan, they are commonly observed throughout the country, from the northern mountainous regions to the southern coastal areas.

Carrion Crows exhibit diverse behaviors shaped by their omnivorous diet and highly social nature. They are opportunistic feeders, scavenging for a wide range of food including carrion, insects, small mammals, eggs, fruits, and scraps discarded by humans. Their intelligence and resourcefulness are evident in their foraging techniques, which may involve cooperative hunting and innovative problem-solving.
