Lord Geordie Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hooded carion perhaps? Or maybe a cross breed? LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest john5 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hooded carion perhaps? Or maybe a cross breed? LG it is a hooded crow , and they do inter-breed with carrion crows where the ranges overlap, and they have and share the same habbits,.

Piebob Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Don't get them in my neck of the woods but it's a hoody. I've never quite understood it, but the hill keepers around here seem to call all crows a "hoody craw", even though they've probably never seen one on their ground.

Frank Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Its a Hooded crow John. Exactly the same as the carrion crow in the UK, but we dont have all black carrions, just the hooded type. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 It's a subspecies of carrion crow. They can breed with the all black carrion crow, and in fact there are black carrion crows in ireland as well at least in the north - i've caught them in larsens and shot several hybrids of the two.

Teal Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 See you've got 2 carrion crows in your signature john, have they made it down your way already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikkamark Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I have only ever seen the grey crow(hooded crow) rook and the normal black crow.Im nearly sure in England they call what we know as the normal black crow a rook the grey crow is the exact same size as it the only physical difference seems to be there feather colour. In england what do you call the largest of crows that makes the distinctive deep 'gronk gronk gronk' call and has a very large wingspan over here we call them rooks could it be that in england you call them carrion crows??
