Australian Raven (species: Corvus coronoides)
The Little Raven is slightly smaller than the Australian Raven. The Little Raven beak is slightly smaller and more curved, its calls are shorter, and its throat bulges out less while calling. The Little Raven is also a somewhat more sociable species than the Australian Raven, often forming large flocks that roam freely over wide areas in search of food. (Wikipedia).
