@schratze in my world it's usually a jackdaw being mistaken for a crow
@skippingmoonrocks I've had people mistake jackdaws for ravens before. You're goos

@skippingmoonrocks *you're good. I didn't mean to say "you're goose"

@schratze yeah, it's all goat.
I have one friend who mistakes jackdaws for rooks all the time.

Things everybody needs to hear more often:
- you are loved
- your feelings are valid
- you deserve rest
- you don't need to be available at all times
- that's not a raven, that's a crow
- it's okay. a crow is a pretty big and cool bird, too@schratze I'm so urban I would probably mistake a raven for a crow because ravens are just rare birds that live far away where I don't dwell (the country)

@schratze I do know that they croak and not caw but according to my father the difference is when you put them next to each other and I would rather not risk it getting my eyes clawed out trying to measure them🤣

@leguinian_utopia no the calls are the best way to distinguish them. Also the hair tuft on top of the beak, the rhombic tail, and the way ravens soar through the air

»you are loved« must sound bitter to people who aren't -

@DrMcStrange Wikipedia also lists the Little Raven, but that seems to be more of a random visitor?
I feel like I need to point out that there's no clear distinction between crows and ravens. They're both birds in the Corvus genus, but there are several species called crow and several called raven without clear criteria for which species gets which common name.

@schratze there are Little Ravens on King Island, which is part of the state of Tasmania, so it could be that. Maybe we get stragglers too, I don't know.
Yeah, mostly ravens are just the bigger species, but even that isn't consistent. For the Australian species it seems to be more about whether they have hackles (ravens) or not (crows).

Big report from @tbrewster
Looks like US-Israeli missile strikes killed two Iranian cyber chiefs, including the MOIS man in charge of Handala, which may explain their particular aggression as of late

@maudel trump ha individuato i negoziatori ed è pronto ad ammazzarli...meglio rifugiarsi all'estero in paesi sicuri dove la CIA non possa raggiungerli come invece accadde al Che.
