Magpies and Bluejays are not options, they're loud and mean dickheads. Stick to Crow v Raven or I'll get really upset.

Ravens are the worst burgerball team, gotta give it to the crows

I can't decide I love both so much they're my favorite birds (sorry Dort_owl)

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Owls are cool, but Dort_owl pisses and shidds on everyone, don't apologize to them!

New Caledonian crow, because tool use

I cannot tell the difference between them if I just see one in the wild.

Ravens have a more hooked beak, are less likely to be found in cities than crows and their tails are more wedge shaped than crows

Ravens. I see them bully bald eagles all the time

Magpies and Bluejays are not options

This is an outrage

Pretty sure I saw a raven the other day. I swear it sounded like a person so I looked out the window and there was a huge black bird in the tree and the crows were flying around it pissed off. So my vote goes to the raven what a spooky bird.

Ravens vs. Crows is a bogus dichotomy.

Do you like big birbs or modestly large birbs

At least Rooks have a visually distinct taxonomical difference, don't @ me

[–] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

I don't see ravens around here(or don't know them when I see them), but I love crows.

A crow will see a car coming towards them at 55mph and be like, "I got time for one more bite of this roadkill".

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

Crows are cuter, Ravens are more majestic.

ravens have more cool factor (brooding loners) but i have a lot more personal affinity for & kinship with the crow (gothy/spooky but ultimately just lil guys who are about community bonds)
