Reasons I am sad: I am not currently being yelled at by an adorable crow while wearing an elegant suit
Fun fact: that’s a baby crow! [Edit: or more likely, a baby raven.]
Only young crows have pink/red inside their mouths. Adults have black mouths. I learned this after we started feeding crows at our house and in the summer I noticed some had bright mouths. It’s the only distinguishing feature because by the time the babies are out of the nest, they’re as big as the adults!
Though the way they followed the adults around and begged to be fed also distinguished them a bit!
That is adorable.
Fun fact: that might be a raven considering the man on the chair is a famous german singer called Max Raabe (Raabe is raven in german).
Ah, actually that seems likely! I’ve only ever seen bright red mouths on baby crows, so this being pink was a bit of a surprise, but it seems pink is normal for fledgling ravens. The feathers extending onto the beak also do indicate it’s more likely a raven.
Thanks for the call out!
