| Native South East Asia
Wingspan 9-11 cm |
Both sexes are similar.
The wings are a deep coppery bronze color. The outer
margins and the median area of the wings have small
white spots and streaks which are sometimes a light
shade of purple. The hind wing lacks the white closely
packed submarginal 'exclamation' marks found in the
other 'Crows'. The male is distinguished from the female
by the shape of the forewing - the lower margin is
convex towards the base of the wing.
The Great Crow has a ponderous and slow flight. Although
it searches for food and mates mostly in the forest
canopy, it is not uncommon amongst small trees and
shrubs. Sometimes, the male may be seen in the same
location day after day, often settled on a sunlit leaf
along a forest path, basking in the sun or waiting for
females to pass by. |
