The Hooded Crow (*Corvus cornix*) is a medium-sized bird found in parts of Europe and Asia. It is easily recognizable by its distinctive gray body and black head, wings, and tail. This bird typically inhabits coastal areas, farmland, and urban environments, where it forages for food. Hooded Crows are omnivorous, feeding on a varied diet that includes insects, small animals, and human food scraps. They are known for their intelligence and adaptability, often seen scavenging in groups. Their vocalizations include a range of caws and croaks, which they use to communicate with each other.
