Birds to compare
Carrion Crow
Corvus corone
Key differences
Carrion Crows are smaller (45-50 cm length), lack the prominent crest, and have entirely black plumage without the 'pinstripe' markings. Their calls are typically harsher and less varied. Eyes are dark, not red.
Raven
Corvus corax
Key differences
Ravens are generally larger (60-70 cm length) and have a shaggier throat plumage and a wedge-shaped tail. They lack the distinct crest and red eyes of Honchkrow. Their calls are deeper and more resonant 'cronk' sounds.
Rook
Corvus frugilegus
Key differences
Rooks have a distinctive pale, bare patch of skin at the base of their bill (in adults) and a more pointed head shape. They lack the crest and red eyes. Often found in large flocks, unlike the more solitary Honchkrow.
