Collection: Common Raven

The common raven ( Corvus corax ) is an intelligent bird found in almost every type of environment, from cities to mountains to deep forests. Recognizable by its large size, its raucous cry and its majestic gliding flight, it is often associated with mythology and indigenous stories. An opportunistic omnivore, it feeds on carrion, small animals, fruits and human waste. Thanks to its remarkable intelligence, it adopts complex behaviors such as food storage and tool use. The raven plays a crucial ecological role by cleaning carcasses and dispersing certain seeds. Its ability to adapt to human-affected environments makes it an outstanding survivor. Observed year-round in Quebec, it symbolizes strength, memory and endurance. The common raven deserves its place among the most fascinating species of our fauna.
