The Forest Raven (*Corvus tasmanicus*) is the largest of Australia’s corvids and a familiar sight throughout Tasmania and parts of coastal southeastern Australia. With its all-black, glossy plumage and deep, resot calls, it is a prominent presence in forests, farmland, and even urban fringes, providing a distinctive backdrop to many of Australia’s temperate regions`.`
