Common raven — size comparison — facts and sources
The common raven occurs in many Northern Hemisphere landscapes, from forests and mountains to coasts, tundra and deserts. It also uses rural areas and other human-altered places.
It eats carrion, small animals, eggs, invertebrates, fruit and seeds. It is a resourceful forager, able to use new sources and store surpluses. Many individuals may gather at an abundant resource such as a large carcass.
It nests on a rock, tree or artificial structure. Partners often stay together year-round, while younger birds may form loose groups. Ravens perform aerial acrobatics, and curiosity and object play are particularly visible in individuals exploring their surroundings.
