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 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.
