Large-billed Crow (<em>Corvus macrorhynchos</em>) is a species of Crows, Jays (<em>Corvidae</em>) in the order Perching Birds (Passerines).

Overview

Large-billed Crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) is a species of Crows, Jays (Corvidae) in the order Perching Birds (Passerines).

Scientific Classification

Genus: Corvus; binomial: Corvus macrorhynchos; authority: Wagler, 1827.

Breeding range: the Palearctic and the Oriental Region.

Conservation Status

Remarks

Corvus macrorhynchos, as currently configured, may be comprised of multiple species-level taxa. However, further genetic analysis with denser taxon sampling, and more comprehensive analysis of vocal and morphological differences, is desirable before a revision of this species is proposed (Jønsson et al. 2012; Eaton et al. 2021). The taxonomy here is partially supported by differences in calls and parasitological observations (See Martens et al. 2009).
