Many people, ignorant of ornithology, mistakenly believe that the raven and a crow is the same bird, that is just a raven – a male, and a crow – a female. But it at all not so. A raven (Raven) and a crow (Corvus) - representatives of separate types. Though these birds also have external similarity, but there are some distinctions thanks to which it is possible to distinguish the representative of one look from the representative of another.
Instruction
