Violet Crow (Corvus violaceus)
About the Violet Crow
The violet crow (Corvus violaceus) is a species of the crow family, Corvidae, native to Seram, an island in Indonesia. It was long considered a subspecies of the slender-billed crow but has been shown to be divergent genetically. Violet crows have a dark black head and slightly blue black body and have a slightly shorter bill than most other crow species. Violet crows primarily inhabit forests and plantations, although they move to more open areas and farmland to feed. http://www.hbw.com/species/violet-crow-corvus-violaceus

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 6 recordings for this species: 5 CC BY-NC-ND · 1 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
