Here's a screenshot of his tail when he flies off - http://imgur.com/2lCjdR9

Compared to the two photos on the link above, it's not obviously the nice wedge tail of a raven.

But then, I'm not an expert, and the the ravens around here are different - the Australian Raven has a tail like the American Crow, although he's much bigger.

To me the shape of his tall, hook-nosed beak and his large, bulging forehead suggest he's definitely a raven. (Plus, it's a bad angle to examine his tail, but that also looks to me like a raven's.)

That's the funny thing. We're both looking at the same thing but seeing different things. To me that's much more a wedge shape than a crow's short and straight.

But more importantly, the underside of the tail in a frame or two from an angle isn't as telltale as the up-close-and-personal HD view of the birds beak and head from multiple angles.

There's no question about how "ravenous" they are, and you're still not expressing any thoughts on those features.

You're avoiding all the clear evidence pointing to the obvious, indisputable truth, and hanging on with a death grip to the only slim, inconclusive evidence that you claim supports your unlikely theory. (Are you a 9/11 and moon landing conspiracy theorist?)

In the words of Elsa, let it go... Let it go! Can't hold it back any more. Turn away and slam the door already because here I am in the light of day. And you know what? The cold never bothered me anyway.

I can only go with the information I have, and not being familiar with your local crows and ravens, googled them

The pages I found said that you tell them apart by tail (shown, but unclear), size (not shown), and habitat (too lazy to look up). None of them said to differentiate by head shape of beak.

Conspiracy theory? No... Going with information supplied with video? Yes! Unless provided with snowmen or reindeer to the contrary. Possibly mistaken? Certainly!

There's a video on VideoSift that goes into great detail about it. That's where I learned the differences. It's fascinating really...

Ah, here it is. Grab some popcorn and enjoy:

Thanks

Rather embarrassingly, I had watched and upvoted that vid already... and yes, it's a Raven. I've even changed the tags and title.
