The Australian Raven is one of five Australian species commonly knows as crows. It is a more slender bird then the Common Raven, but is otherwise simmilar.
The birds can be found in wide range of natural and modified habitats. It requires available water and trees to roost in or perch on. Preferred habitats include eucalypt-dominated sclerophyll forests, and farmland adjacant to trees.
In rural areas a single breading pair and their brood will occupy about a square kilometre territory, whilst in in urban areas over ten times as many ravens can cearch for food in the same square kilometras.
Food consist of carrion, insects, seeds, small reptiles, nestlings and eggs.
The Australian Raven is frequently blamed for the loss of young lambs.
