Shouldn't this be at Australian raven? -- Zoe
When I was 4 and 14 I went to Aussie, I often saw sparrows attacking these guys. Is this normal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.236.190.32 ( talk) 08:07, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Corvus coronoides.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 25, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-11-25. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng { chat} 17:58, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

This claim: "The preference ratio is 34% carrion, 42% invertebrates and 24% plant material." under the diet section of the article seems questionable. I quickly searched the web and found that these websites have the same claim:
however the first and last sites cite Wikipedia while the middle two have no references. Does anyone know where this statement comes from? My limited searching found no such specific research into the ratio of this raven's diet. I did a quick search to see when it was first added, it seems a long time ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Australian_Raven&diff=prev&oldid=3536802

I apologize for the missing image. I was trying to use another image from wikimedia commons and failed. I also could not find the page that describes how to use images from wikimedia commons. Could someone please use the following image. File:Australian-Raven-RWD1.jpg If the following image, for whatever reason, fails to show, here is the link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Australian_Raven_RWD1.jpg LinkyWulfe ( talk) 02:19, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey Cas liber, I'll take up this review. I have already read the lead and taxonomy, with only one comment: Have any cladograms on the genetic studies been published, and if so, could the most recent be added?

Only a few more things to add, and then this article will be placed on hold:
Once all these queries are completed, the article should pass GA. The article is a good read :). IJReid ( talk) 03:47, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello! This is to let editors know that the featured picture File:Corvus coronoides - Doughboy Head.jpg, which is used in this article, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for October 28, 2020. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2020-10-28. Any potential improvements or maintenance that could benefit the quality of this article should be made before its scheduled appearance on the Main Page.

The Australian raven (Corvus coronoides) is a passerine bird in the crow family Corvidae, native to much of southern and northeastern Australia. Measuring about 50 cm (20 in) in length, with a 100 cm (40 in) wingspan, it is Australia's largest species of corvid. The bird's white iris contrasts with the entirely black plumage. Feeding largely on insects and other invertebrates, it also consumes eggs, nestlings, roadkill and carrion, as well as vegetable material. Farmers sometimes persecute it on the grounds that it kills lambs, but a healthy lamb is probably beyond its capabilities, although it does eat lamb faeces and stillborn animals. This Australian raven, perched on a rock encrusted with barnacles, was photographed at Doughboy Head in New South Wales. Photograph credit: John Harrison

There is MOS:SANDWICHing in the images here, which should be corrected, possibly by just moving some images around. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 19:46, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
so we all know there are no crows in Vic- common knowlege for me and many others for decades and I presume for at least maybe two centries(there was no english here beyond the late 19th century). so as crow or raven are common names and not latininaic taxonomical termonolgy- can we/us in Victoria just keep calling these crazy birds who tap on your window, bring in objects ect ect- always called crows and never ravens. these are all just european names- I speak to them it's totally differnt to magpie(magpies only swoop angry people) so can we just call the corvis in victoria a crow or just by their name-Waang 124.170.107.64 ( talk) 11:16, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
