The Large-billed crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) is a widespread Asian species of crow. It is very adaptable and can survive on a wide range of food sources. It has a large bill and it is sometimes known by the common name Thick-billed crow.
These crows have a relatively long bill with the upper one quite thick and arched, making it look heavy and almost raven-like. Generally, they have dark greyish plumage from the back of the head, neck, shoulders, and lower body. Their wings, tail, face, and throat are glossy black. The depth of the grey shading varies across its range.
Large-billed crows are from the northeastern Asian seaboard to Afghanistan and eastern Iran in the west, through South and Southeast Asia, to the Lesser Sundas and Cambodia in the southeast. These birds live in woodlands, parks, and gardens, cultivated regions with at least some trees. However, Large-billed crows are birds of more open country in the south of their range.
