        DefinitionShort: large black bird with thick strong beak, and fairly short legs; highly intelligent; Corvus family; crows and ravens belong to the same family of birds but differ in size, ravens being somewhat larger and being more inclined to feed on dead bodies.

        Glosses: ['crow', 'raven']

        Comments: In some languages one must be especially sensitive to connotations relating to terms for ‘crow’ or ‘raven,’ since these birds may be either particularly disliked or may be regarded as symbols of death and sickness. If such is the case, it may be preferable to simply use a more generic term for birds.
