Is the bird on this sign a Raven or a Crow? How can you tell? Ravens are often larger than crows, and the feathers on their tail flare to a point, whereas crow tail feathers have a flatter shape. With a careful ear, you might be able to tell the difference in their calls. Here is a crow [Crow Call - “Caw! Caw!”] and now a raven [Raven Call - “Quork! Quork!”]. Can you tell the difference?
