Ravens are the largest of all the songbirds.
They are 2 feet long and have a 4 feet wingspan. They are jet black and have shaggy feathers around their neck. Ravens have a distinct bill with a curve on the upper part. Their tails are wedge shaped and long. Ravens make a very loud, sharp, krak sound.
