The Brown-headed Crow is a distinct and somewhat elusive crow species found in the remote forests of New Guinea. It is characterized by its dull brownish head and neck contrasting with its otherwise black plumage.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of New Guinea, inhabiting primary lowland and hill rainforests, typically avoiding human-modified landscapes.
How to spot
Requires visiting remote forest areas in New Guinea. Look for its distinctive brownish head against a black body. Listen for its unique, often high-pitched and nasal calls, which differ from typical crow caws.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight, but often difficult to see due to its preference for dense canopy. Best chances might be early morning or late afternoon when foraging more actively.

Unlike many crow species that thrive near human settlements, the Brown-headed Crow typically inhabits dense, undisturbed primary rainforest, making it a good indicator of forest health.
