The gray crow is a large bird with a gray body, black head, wings, and tail. It lives in Europe and Asia, is distinguished by its great intelligence, and often settles near humans.
The gray crow differs from the black crow in its gray body color. It is important for nature because it eats carrion, harmful insects, and helps clean the environment.
