Long-billed Crow (Corvus validus)
About the Long-billed Crow
The long-billed crow (Corvus validus) is a crow that is endemic to the Northern Maluku Islands. This crow is large with glossy plumage, a large bill and white irises. It is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as a "near-threatened species". The long-billed crow is a large crow growing from 45 to 53 cm (18 to 21 in) in length including its relatively short tail. The large bill tapers from a broad base and is black, as are the legs and feet. In adults, the plumage is glossy and entirely black; juveniles have dull black plumage. The iris is dark grey on juveniles, turning to pale blue to white in adults. The call of this crow has been likened to the yapping of a puppy "cruk. cruk. cruk".
