Molukkenkrähe Corvus validus

A distinctive crow with a strikingly long bill, noticeable even in flight. Adults have purple-glossed blackish plumage and a prominent pale eye. Juveniles are dark-eyed and lack gloss. Occurs in the canopy of any areas with trees, where it is typically seen in small, active, vociferous groups. Restricted to the north Moluccas. Noticeably longer-billed than local Torresian Crows. Gives high-pitched “krak-krak-krak” calls repeatedly and often.
