The Australian Raven is a large, entirely black corvid, common across southeastern Australia. It is characterized by its glossy black plumage, white eye, and prominent throat hackles.
Where to spot
Widespread across southeastern Australia, including urban, suburban, agricultural, and forested areas.
How to spot
Look for a large, all-black bird with a prominent, shaggy throat. In good light, its piercing white eyes are a key feature. Its calls are deep, drawn-out 'ahh-ahh-ahh-arrr' or 'korr-korr-korr', with a distinctive 'waaah' on the last note.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, often seen foraging on the ground or perched conspicuously. Dawn and dusk are good for observing communal roosts.

Australian Ravens often display cooperative breeding, with multiple individuals helping to raise the young in a single nest.
