The bronze crow is one of the largest birds in the corvid family. It lives in the mountains of East Africa and has a very thick and strong beak.
The bronze crow differs from other ravens by its unusually thick beak, which helps it to eat a wide variety of food. It is important for nature because it eats carrion and helps spread plant seeds.
