CROW

Crows (/kr/) are members of a widely distributed genus of birds, Corvus, in the family Corvidae. Ranging in size from the relatively small pigeon-size jackdaws (Eurasian and Daurian) to the Common Raven of the Holarctic region and Thick-billed Raven of the highlands of Ethiopia, the 40 or so members of this genus occur on all temperate continents except South America, and several islands. In Europe, the word "crow" is used to refer to the Carrion Crow or the Hooded Crow, while in North America it is used for the American Crow or the Northwestern Crow.
The crow genus makes up a third of the species in the Corvidae family. Crows appear to have evolved in Asia from the corvid stock, which had evolved in Australia. The collective name for a group of crows is a flock or a murder.[1]
Recent research has found some crow species capable of not only tool use but also tool construction[2] and meta-tool use. Crows are now considered to be among the world's most intelligent animals[3] with an encephalization quotient approaching that of some apes[citation needed]. The Jackdaw and the European Magpie have been found to have a nidopallium approximately the same relative size as the functionally equivalent neocortex in chimpanzees and humans, and significantly larger than is found in the gibbon.[4]

Grazie. :up:
Filmograficamente, invece, io ricordo che nel film "Il corvo" viene citata la frase che i trader si ripetono quando sono in loss duraturo: "Non può piovere sempre".

Ci sono altri documenti ufficiali (presi dal web, intendo dire): https://www.google.it/#q=crow+vs+raven

Quindi, il raven sembra essere più grosso. Avrei detto che il corvo era piccino e la sanguinaria cornacchia grossa, ma forse è il contrario. :mmmm:

Comunque, ci sono donne che dicono che le dimensioni dell'uccello non contano. :mumble:

Vabbé.
