THICK BILLED RAVEN
The thick-billed raven (Corvus crassirostris), a corvid from the Horn of Africa, shares with the common
raven the distinction of being the largest bird in the corvid family, and indeed the largest of the most
diverse bird order with well over 5,000 identified species, the passerines. The thick-billed raven average
64 cm (25 in) in length, with a range of 60 to 70 cm (24 to 28 in) and weighs approximately 1.15 kg
(2.5 lb) in females and 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) in males on average.
It has a very large bill that is laterally compressed and is deeply curved in profile giving the bird a very
distinctive appearance. This bill, the largest of any passerine at 8-9 cm (3.1-3.5 in) in length, is black
with a white tip and has deep nasal grooves with only light nasal bristle covers. This raven has very
short feathers on the head, throat and neck. The throat and upper breast have an oily brown gloss, while
the rest of the bird is glossy black except for a distinctive white patch of feathers on the nape and onto
the neck.
