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.

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 thrives in a variety of environments, from urban centers with parks and gardens to remote forest clearings, indicating adaptability and a higher tolerance for human activity. Their habitat spans open to semi-open landscapes, including mixed farmlands and coastal regions. They are also present in temperate mountainous areas, up to elevations of 2050 meters, avoiding only arid zones.

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.
