The hooded crow is a clever, grey-and-black bird found across Europe and parts of the Middle East. It’s a close cousin of the carrion crow but stands out with its ash-grey body and dark wings. These adaptable birds eat almost anything and thrive in all sorts of places.

  • Their feathers are ashy grey except for black head, wings, and tail.
  • They’ll eat anything from insects to scraps, making them great survivors.
  • Found everywhere from city parks to remote forests in Europe and beyond.
