The Thick-billed Raven is an enormous and robust raven endemic to the Horn of Africa, distinguished by its exceptionally large and deep bill, which is among the largest bills of any passerine bird.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Horn of Africa, primarily Ethiopia and Eritrea, inhabiting high-altitude mountains, plateaus, and savannas, often near human settlements.
How to spot
Its immense, arched bill is unmistakable and its most prominent feature. Look for this very large, entirely black raven in its specific East African highland range. Its calls are typically deep, gurgling croaks.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, often seen perched conspicuously on buildings, trees, or rocky outcrops, or soaring overhead.

Its massive bill is used for a variety of tasks, from tearing carrion to cracking open tough-shelled insects and fruits, making it a highly versatile feeder.
