There are many species of ravens around the world – Australian Raven (Corvus coronoides), Little Raven (Corvus mellori), Forest Raven (Corvus tasmanicus), New England Raven (Corvus (t). More distant Corvid cousins are Choughs, Treepies, Nutcrackers, Magpies and Jays. Raven’s closest relatives in the subspecies CORVUS include the crows, jackdaws, and rooks. Raven (Corvus corax), also known as the Common Raven or the Northern Raven, is the largest bird in the family CORVIDAE or CORVINI. And magically speaking, Raven is your totem. If you are fascinated with ravens, read incessantly about them, observe them in nature, can recognize their unique voice, collect their feathers, collect raven art and artifacts, and know their literature and folklore from around the world, you are probably an amateur CORVIDOLOGIST, which is the branch of Ornithology specializing in RAVENS and their family.

If men had wings and bore black feathers, few of them would be clever enough to be crows.
