Magpies and Bluejays are not options, they’re loud and mean dickheads. Stick to Crow v Raven or I’ll get really upset.
crows, bc they’re the proletariat tbh, i’ve never seen ravens eating from a dumpster next to mcdonalds

You’re like a Bluejay with a keyboard.Fine, a Rook then
The form of the body matters not, so long as they wield a blade
I’m near enough to raven territory that I get to see them somewhat regularly and it’s a real treat - they’re so beautiful, and huge! I really like their vocalizations. My favorite though is the Fish Crow. Its vocalization never fails to make me chuckle, and they’re a sign you’re near the coast!
Anyway I had the opportunity to work with a crow at a wildlife rehab, and they’re so amazing in general. I was volunteering/learning raptor handling, but this crows trick was being able to recycle. Anyway they’re smart and pretty and prevent soooo many diseases by eating dead stuff! Shout out to them all (and ofc the vultures); vastly misunderstood and under appreciated for the good that they do.
New Caledonian crow, because tool use
I can’t decide I love both so much they’re my favorite birds (sorry Dort_owl)
Owls are cool, but Dort_owl pisses and shidds on everyone, don’t apologize to them!
Ravens are the worst burgerball team, gotta give it to the crows
Ravens. I see them bully bald eagles all the time

Y tho? Not saying you’re right or wrong.

Magpies and Bluejays are not options
This is an outrage
Pretty sure I saw a raven the other day. I swear it sounded like a person so I looked out the window and there was a huge black bird in the tree and the crows were flying around it pissed off. So my vote goes to the raven what a spooky bird.
I cannot tell the difference between them if I just see one in the wild.
Ravens have a more hooked beak, are less likely to be found in cities than crows and their tails are more wedge shaped than crows
ravens have more cool factor (brooding loners) but i have a lot more personal affinity for & kinship with the crow (gothy/spooky but ultimately just lil guys who are about community bonds)
Crows are cuter, Ravens are more majestic.
