Talk:Forest raven

Untitled
HANZAB doesn't mention the Relict Raven, so I assume that the elevation to species status has been rescinded. Unfortunately volume 7 has not been published yet, so I can't look it up. The latest Australian field guide I have lists it as a subspecies: Corvus tasmanicus boreus. Any further information would be of interest.

Nice work on the raven articles, by the way. Tannin

I would like to get comments from other users but I do not believe Forest Raven ever has white spots on the wings and tail. Also the illustration of the bird with white spots is NOT Forest Raven but Black Currawong (Strepera fuliginosa).

The distribution section is incomplete as this species also occurs patchily in South Australia.

Note from Graeme Chapman
Note to self (from email from Graeme Chapman bit below) - need to chase refs which support the following....cool.....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 08:15, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

"Vaurie (1962a) disposed of it by selecting it as a junior homonym of Corvus australis Gmelin, 1788 (p.377) = Monasa atra (Boddaert, 1783) Bucconidae - action of first reviser under ICZN Art. 24."

For checking

Clarification needed, prose needs copyediting.

 * "Birds breed later in Tasmania than mainland Australia, though that species has been little-studied. " Which species?
 * hmmm, didn't think I put "that" in the beginning, but "the" as just means the forest raven - was reluctant to write "forest raven" as it sound a bit repetitive after the previous sentence Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:55, 27 March 2015 (UTC)


 * "Eggs have been recorded from July to September and nestlings in September and October in New South Wales, and nestlings have been noted from September to December in Victoria" -- run on sentence.
 * changed to "while" as slighlty contrastive Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:55, 27 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I'll try to get to these myself later. Sorry I missed this at FA.  --Gaff (talk) 04:46, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Photo discussion
In my opinion, we can do better than the third photo - it is difficult to see the bird in the photo due to glare (or whatever the technical term is) and the bird is also rather small in the photo, with various other things such as a cow within the frame that do not add to the understanding of the article. I would therefore recommend subbing in File:Forest Raven - Tasmania S4E6196 (21764640094).jpg which shows the bird more clearly. For reference the 'third photo' is currently: File:Corvus tasmanicus-04.JPG. Would like to know everyone's thoughts. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk  22:01, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
