Do sparrows usually attack australian ravens on a regular basis.
When I was 4 and 14 I went to Aussie, I often saw sparrows attacking these guys. Is this normal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.236.190.32 (talk) 08:07, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's normal and common, but usually they only do it to drive the ravens out of their range. OzoneO (talk) 10:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Questionable claim!
This claim: "The preference ratio is 34% carrion, 42% invertebrates and 24% plant material." under the diet section of the article seems questionable. I quickly searched the web and found that these websites have the same claim:


 * 1) http://www.cykelkurt.com/fugle/eng/crows-of-the-world-2.html
 * 2) http://www.avianweb.com/australianravens.html
 * 3) http://www.redorbit.com/education/reference_library/science_1/aves_birds/2576536/australian_raven/
 * 4) http://www.gaiaguide.info/Group.html?groupId=khVERJr7

however the first and last sites cite Wikipedia while the middle two have no references. Does anyone know where this statement comes from? My limited searching found no such specific research into the ratio of this raven's diet. I did a quick search to see when it was first added, it seems a long time ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australian_Raven&diff=prev&oldid=3536802

Having issues with images
I apologize for the missing image. I was trying to use another image from wikimedia commons and failed. I also could not find the page that describes how to use images from wikimedia commons. Could someone please use the following image. If the following image, for whatever reason, fails to show, here is the link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Australian_Raven_RWD1.jpg LinkyWulfe (talk) 02:19, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Range map

 * File:Corvus_coronoides_map.jpg - Australia is only a small part of this map. It would be better to show a range map only of Australia. The East and West ranges are probably fairly obvious, but it would be clearer if the ranges for the two subspecies were different colors. Am I right in interpreting the range map as one continuous range with East and West areas connected via a relatively narrow coastal area along the the South of Australia? I am not entirely sure if this is a FA criteria or not; however, there is room for improvement of the range map. I think that a better range map might look good.

Image issues
There is MOS:SANDWICHing in the images here, which should be corrected, possibly by just moving some images around. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  19:46, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * User:SandyGeorgia, does it meet MOS:SANDWICH now? Or was I too bold with the multiple images thing? RetiredDuke (talk) 21:33, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thank you ! Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  23:05, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

In Victoria the common name for 'Ravens' is 'Crow'. or should we just say Waang?
so we all know there are no crows in Vic- common knowlege for me and many others for decades and I presume for at least maybe two centries(there was no english here beyond the late 19th century). so as crow or raven are common names and not latininaic taxonomical termonolgy- can we/us in Victoria just keep calling these crazy birds who tap on your window, bring in objects ect ect- always called crows and never ravens. these are all just european names- I speak to them it's totally differnt to magpie(magpies only swoop angry people) so can we just call the corvis in victoria a crow or just by their name-Waang 124.170.107.64 (talk) 11:16, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
