2002 0 4 0 0
Common Raven (Corvus corax canariensis) can often be seen in Fuerteventura usually travelling in pairs. Their plumage, legs and beak are completely black and their plumage shines presenting metallic reflections of green and bluish violet colours. They can reach up to 67 centimetres in length with a wingspan of up to 150 centimetres.
The brains of common ravens are among the largest of any bird species, they display ability in problem-solving, as well as other cognitive processes such as imitation. Common ravens are known to steal and store shiny objects such as pebbles, pieces of metal and foil.
