The Difference Between Crows And Ravens
It is common to confuse crows and ravens since both birds are intelligent and you can almost fail to tell them apart. However, the major differences between these two birds is that, ravens often travel in pairs and crows travel in large numbers. Also, a crow’s tail is shaped like a fan whilst that of a raven appears wedge shaped or triangular. Another way you can tell a raven and a crow apart is by listening to their calls. Crows give a cawing sound and ravens produce a lower croaking sound. A rather interesting difference between crows and ravens is that crows have a short lifespan, only 8 years, compared to ravens that can live for about 30 years. Also, unlike ravens, crows like being around people and they are more social and audacious. Although both crows and ravens are smart, crows are able to come up with clever ways of getting food in an urban environment. Ravens on the other hand, are drawn to livestock such as cattle and sheep. They are more cautious and less social compared to crows.

The Way To A Crows Heart
One of the most effective ways to introduce yourself to most animals including crows is by feeding it. Other people may disagree since they consider crows as wild birds that fend for themselves. They may argue that by feeding a crow, you create an unnatural dependency which may be true for most wildlife. However, crows and human beings have been living together for a long time so food is the best way to a crows heart. Therefore, the best way to make friends with a crow is to find some food that the crow likes to eat. This will take time since it requires some trial and error because these birds can be picky. After discovering what your potential pet likes, stock up on that food and create a regular feeding schedule. That way the bird will know when to expect you to feed it and vice versa. Be careful not to get too excited and overdo it. It is important that you do not feed the crow too much to a point where it becomes too dependent on you for food. Also, when feeding the crow do not just throw the food and walk away. Stay a respectful distance to watch the crow eat. Stay consistent and the crow will slowly warm up to you.
