Crows & Ravens

In Western media crows and ravens are often confused as each other, and serve most of the same roles. Both of these birds in real life are placed in the genus Corvus, and the difference between is mostly in size, deepness of voice, shape of beak, and some behaviors. A depiction in a film or TV show may portray a large, black bird with the sound of a crow call, or a smaller black bird with that of a raven's call. Both are used as portrayals of darker things, such as graveyards, witchcraft, and villainy. Other passerine black birds may be confused with crows and ravens in real life, such as blackbirds and grackles. Crows are more likely to be depicted as social as opposed to single, but not always, especially as the two are most often confused for one another.
