	Crows and Ravens
		Crows and ravens are found throughout Australia, in all habitat types, with the exception of the more arid areas of Western Australia.
		Both the Little and Torresian Crows are wide-ranging over the Australian mainland, with the Little Crow preferring the drier regions and the Torresian Crow being absent from the south.
		One concern with the possible establishment of the House Crow in Australia, is its record as a pest of crops.

		Jackdaw-, crow- and raven-sized forms seem to have existed since long ago and crows were regularly hunted by humans up to the Iron Age, documenting the evolution of the modern taxa.
		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.

		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.

		The Torresian Crow (Corvus orru), also occasionally called the Australian Crow, is about the same size (50-55 cm in length) as the Eurasian Carrion Crow but with a more robust bill and slightly longer legs.
		It has the typical white iris of the other Australasian Corvus species but can be distinguished from most (except the Little Crow) by the base of the head and neck feathers being snow white (revealed when blown by a strong wind).
		Its range occupies the tropical north of Australia as far south as Brisbane on the east coast where the species seems to be adjusting well to a city life.

		The torresian crow (Corvus orru) is a native Australian bird and is protected under State Wildlife Legislation (Nature Conservation Act 1992).
		The crow plays an important role in natural pest management: they prey on insects and grubs, small rats and mice in grassland and woodland habitats and urban gardens.
		One way to achieve this is to restrict the artificial food supplies to crows to control their numbers to a natural level.
