About the Pied Crow
The pied crow is a highly adaptable African crow recognised by its glossy black plumage contrasting with a white patch across the neck and upper breast. It occurs in an exceptionally wide range of habitats, including savanna, woodland, farmland, towns and cities. It is an intelligent and opportunistic omnivore, feeding on insects, fruit, seeds, small animals, eggs, carrion and human food. Pied crows are commonly seen singly, in pairs or in groups and are well adapted to living around people.
How to identify the Pied Crow
