Description General Info
Description
The overall size (length: 46–59 cm; 18–23 in.) and body proportions vary regionally. In the far northeast in Japan, the Kuriles and the Sakhalin peninsula, it is somewhat larger than the carrion crow. All taxa have a relatively long bill with the upper one quite thick and arched, making it look heavy and almost raven-like. Generally, all taxa have dark greyish plumage from the back of the head, neck, shoulders and lower body. Their wings, tail, face, and throat are glossy black. The depth of the grey shading varies across its range.

Feeding Habits
Large-billed Crow is omnivorous, consuming a wide range of food including carrion, plant material, and small animals. Known for bold foraging behaviors, it adapts well to urban environments, scavenging waste and demonstrating food caching. Large-billed Crow's diet flexibility and opportunistic feeding contribute to its pest status in some areas.
Habitat
Large-billed Crow occupies diverse habitats including forests, woodlands, taiga, cultivated landscapes with trees, and urban areas. Their range extends across major geographical regions from northeastern Asia to Southeast Asia, adapting from sea level up to remarkable altitudes of 6400 meters on Mount Everest. Commonly found near rivers and coastlines in the north, large-billed Crow is also associated with agricultural lands and plantations in the south. In the Himalayas, they traverse up to the tree-line and follow human settlements and livestock high into the mountains. Although less dependent on human proximity than other crows, large-billed Crow will nest in any village with sizeable trees and often gathers around food sources like slaughterhouses and fishing ports.

Distribution Area
The range of this species is extensive and stretches from the northeastern Asian seaboard to Afghanistan and eastern Iran in the west, through South and Southeast Asia, to the Lesser Sundas and Cambodia in the southeast. It occurs in woodland, parks and gardens, cultivated regions with at least some trees, but is a bird of more open country in the south of its range where it is not in competition with the common raven and carrion crow of the north.
