Raven is common name applied to about ten large
birds of the crow family. The best known is the common
raven, found throughout much of the northern
hemisphere, from the high Arctic islands of Canada to the
deserts of North Africa. It is the largest of all songbirds,
attaining a length of more than 60 cm. It has a wedgeshaped tail and is satiny black, with a metallic, bluish
sheen. The bill is long, powerful, and slightly hooked, and
the feet are strong. The common raven is omnivorous,
feeding on seeds, fruit, small birds and mammals, and
even carrion. It nests on high trees or cliffs; the female lays
four to eight spotted, light-blue eggs in a clutch, and both
parents feed the young. Because of its social behavior,
intelligence, and high adaptability, Ravens has become the
subject of many legends and folklores in many
communities.
