  Crow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crows in the northwestern US (a blend of Corvus brachyrhynchos and Corvus caurinus) show modest linguistic capabilities and the ability to relay information over great distances, live in complex, hierarchic societies involving hundreds of individuals with various "occupations", and have an intense rivalry with the area's less socially-advanced ravens.
Crows, and especially ravens, often feature in legends or mythology as portents or harbingers of doom or death, because of their dark plumage, unnerving calls, and tendency to eat carrion.
In mythology and folklore as a whole, crows tend to be symbolic more of the spiritual aspect of death, or the transition of the spirit into the afterlife, whereas ravens tend more often to be associated with the negative (physical) aspect of death.

 Carrion Crow, Corvus corone corone
Of all birds the carrion crow is the most detested by gamekeepers and country people who rear flocks of poultry, because it is the craftiest of egg thieves.
Later, when trees are more leafy and it becomes harder for the nests to be spotted, the crow is quick to observe other birds carrying food to their young and again he makes his merciless pounce when all has been discovered; this time he takes the chicks.
They tend to hunt in ones and twos, unlike rooks which go about in flocks; but I have seen as many as 40 carrion crows in a bunch in early summer; these were all young birds which had assembled from several nests, to travel round in a gang, as is the way of adolescents.

Also known as the scald crow, or grey crow, the hooded crow is about 46cm in length, 100cm in wingspan.
The reason that you probably only know one of these two crows is because their territories are exclusive: most places in Europe have one or the other but not both.
The hooded crows seem to have the upper hand at the moment, with more of Europe by area than the carrion crows, but the border area in Scotland is moving: the line is much further north than it was 100 years ago, which suggests that the carrion crows are winning in Great Britain.
