    Ravens are cooler than crows full stop.

    I've seen ravens up here to go toe to toe with bald eagles and consistently fucking clown on those oversized chickenhawks.

      I wonder if any countries have ravens as their national symbol. One of the funniest things to me about bald eagles is that their call is anemic. Somebody (A propagandist? A marketer?) had the clever idea of not using it and substituting in the call of a red tailed hawk which is cool and has a serious bird of prey vibe.

        Oh that explains why I once saw a bald eagle dumpster diving and feasting out of a very used diaper.

            It was more of a UEECHKT URECHKT UEEECHKT wet noises as the bald eagle perks its head up, white feathers no longer so

      There's an unintentionally funny video I watched by a guy on the subject of distinguishing between ravens and crows and he clearly has a bias towards ravens.

        When the birds are flying, you'll notice that a crow does a lot more flapping of its wings - that's because it can't soar the way a raven does. When a raven's in the air, if it can, it will soar, and it's a beauty to watch.
