Violet crow
Species of bird
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[2] Violet crows have a dark black head and slightly blue black body and have a slightly shorter bill than most other crow species.
