Description
The hooded Crow is often mistaken for the carrion crow (Corvus corone) and has even been regarded as the same species; indeed, these two species may breed to create a hybrid. The hooded Crow is commonly found in woodlands, farmlands, and suburban areas. They can usually be seen in pairs or small groups, looking to find decaying meat, grain, and other protein.

Life Expectancy

Feeding Habits
Hooded Crow consumes a varied omnivorous diet including molluscs, crabs, bird eggs, small mammals, and carrion. Hooded Crow exhibits foraging resourcefulness by dropping shellfish to break them, scavenging, and pilfering seabird nests. Hooded Crow's diet reflects its adaptive feeding behaviors and coastal opportunism.
Habitat
Hooded Crow largely inhabits open and semi-open regions across a broad geographic area. This species is versatile and adapts well to various landscapes including mixed farmlands, parks, and gardens, thriving in both urban centers and remote forest clearings. Hooded Crow is comfortable around human settlements and can often be seen in city streets, indicating a higher tolerance for human activity compared to some related species. The bird's range extends to moorlands, coastal cliffs, estuaries, and even inshore islands. Although hooded Crow does not favor arid environments, it can be found in areas of cultivation encroaching on deserts, preferring greener zones. Hooded Crow is also found at higher altitudes, breeding in mountain ranges and reported at elevations up to 2050 meters.

Distribution Area
The hooded crow breeds in northern and eastern Europe, and closely allied forms inhabit southern Europe and western Asia. Where its range overlaps with carrion crow, as in northern Britain, Germany, Denmark, northern Italy, and Siberia, their hybrids are fertile. In the British Isles, the hooded crow breeds regularly in Scotland, the Isle of Man, and the Scottish Islands; it also breeds widely in Ireland. In autumn, some migratory birds arrive on the east coast of Britain.
