Description
It is a relatively small and sleek looking crow, 34–38 centimetres (13–15 in) in length. It has very glossy dark, bluish plumage, which appears soft and silky. The bill is quite slender and black, as are the legs and feet. The Chihuahuan raven, a much larger and very different bird, is the only crow it commonly occurs alongside. 
Size
36-38 cm (14-15 in)
Feeding Habits
Tamaulipas Crow is omnivorous, consuming a varied diet that includes seeds, berries, insects like grasshoppers, and eggs or nestlings of other birds. Tamaulipas Crow also scavenges carrion and human food scraps. Its feeding behaviors involve foraging and hunting, with specific adaptation to utilize available food sources in its habitat, such as roadkill or garbage dump offerings. In captivity, it readily eats dog food, fruit, and small apple pieces.
Habitat
The tamaulipas Crow is typically found in semiarid brushlands and areas with riparian vegetation. This species is adaptable and often frequents human-altered landscapes, including native villages, corrals, ranches, and farmlands. It is also common for tamaulipas Crow to be spotted in urban settings, such as towns and near garbage or rubbish dumps. They can thrive in both open and semi-open areas that have trees and hedges, providing them with suitable nesting and perching options.
Nest Behavior
Tamaulipas Crow may nest in loose colonies and partake in courtship involving bill-touching and mutual preening. Both sexes construct the nest and exhibit a degree of biparental care. Specifics on the timing of nest construction and egg-laying are not well documented.
Nest Characteristics
Tamaulipas Crow's nest is typically placed in a tree and can also be built on a framework of steel beams when in more urban settings. The nest is a substantial platform or shallow basket made of sticks and plant fibers, with a softer lining.
