The
Australian Raven (
Corvus coronoides) is the largest of the three Australian species commonly known as ravens. Measuring 46–53 cm (18–21 in) in length with a 100 cm (39 in) wingspan and weighing around 650 grams (23 oz), the adult is an all-black bird with black feet and beak and a white iris. It is common throughout south-eastern Australia and southern
Western Australia, but it is not found in the far north. It has adapted very well to human habitation in some cities and is a common bird in
Melbourne,
Sydney, and
Rottnest Island.
