@matildalove @schratze I'm honestly still not quite sure (boarnana for scale)

@matildalove @schratze this is true
-
@IngaLovinde yeah, slight exaggeration probably. It's always either the noise they make, the color they are, or their most prominent behavior
@schratze but the same can be said about anything basically. Animals, plants, etc

A big crow looks like it could steal your lunch
A normal raven looks like you'd better just fucking leave your lunch behind
@TeflonTrout @whangdoodler @leguinian_utopia @schratze
I see crows all the time, bigger than pigeons, smaller than seagulls. I don't have a mental image of the size of a raven. I'm tempted to say seagull sized, but now as I type I recall "seagull" is like twenty different species and my local seagulls might not be at all like any of yours. Big enough that you could imagine one eating a whole pigeon

Ravens are the size youd expect from a bird of prey instead of a corvid
no not that kind
the klingon kind

"There is no consistent distinction between crows and ravens"
ONE IS PART OF THE OTHER
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow
Corvus is latin for raven and means all birds of the genus corvus. Crow is a synonym for corvus. And raven is generally used for big crows.
Stop pretending they're even a thing! It's all the same!this still confuses me (and my name is Raven lmao)
i thought they were different, but this is saying they are categorizations of specific species?
