Field Notes

Description:

Extremely clever birds. The species peppers folklore, myth, and legends of any culture that interacts with it. Usually monogamous. Their courtship displays are entertaining. Ravens will perform all kinds of acrobatics in mid air, even flying upside down. They have been seen using tools and doing what can only be described as "playing", sometimes with "toys".

Habitat:

Most of North America and Eurasia. Wooded and coastal areas and open land.
