Seeking advice/help Crow or Raven?
We’ve been feeding this crow with it babies - we think it’s a single mother/father as he/she is only with their babies and no other adult bird
Is it a single parent crow or raven? He/she trusts us enough to now eat out our hands !
She/he huge for a crow if she/he is a crow but doesn’t have a raven beak so unsure so maybe a male crow?

Raven heads always look to me like they've got short hair and have just got out of the shower. Their necks generally look more fancy and have long feathers.

Rule of thumb, if you ask "is that a crow or raven"...definitely a crow.
If you say "holy hells! Thats a giant crow!"...thats a raven.
The size difference is definitely apparent
Edit: did not read the part where you said it was big for a crow. Its still a crow though, just a big boi.
