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.
Distribution
Breeding range: the Palearctic and the Oriental Region.
Conservation Status
This taxon is listed as Extant (living) in the IOC World Bird List.
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).
