Description

Life Expectancy

Feeding Habits
House Crow are omnivorous, consuming refuse, small reptiles, mammals, insects, eggs, nestlings, grain, and fruit. They forage on the ground and in trees, adapt opportunistically, and may snatch prey mid-air.
Habitat
House Crow primarily occupies habitats closely associated with human communities across tropical and subtropical regions. It thrives in a multitude of environments influenced by human activity, ranging from bustling urban settings like city parks and railway stations to rural settlements, including villages along coastlines. While predominantly a denizen of the lowlands, house Crow has adapted to higher elevations, populating certain mountainous locales in the Himalayas, typically below 1600 meters, but occasionally sighted at elevations as high as 2900 meters. Its presence is increasingly noted near military installations in the Western Himalayas, even at altitudes up to 4240 meters.
Dite type
