- it's okay. a crow is a pretty big and cool bird, too@schratze A few easy rules for distinguishing crows from ravens in the Pacific Northwest:
- Pointed wingtips and wedge-shaped tail, it's usually a raven.
- Fingered wingtips and wide tail, it's usually a crow.
- Aerodynamic head and beak, probably a crow.
- Thick beak, odd-shaped head, probably a raven.
- If it sounds like a crow, it's a crow.
- If it sounds like a human going AWK in a falsetto voice, it's a raven.
- If it's using a crosswalk and looking at cars like "You're supposed to stop for me" it's 100% a crow.
- If it's looking at you like you're the middle part of a sandwich it's making, it's 100% a raven.
- If there are more than four of them and there are no visible dead things, they're crows.
- If there are more than four of them, and there are no visible dead things, but you're pretty sure they're ravens, GET OUT NOW. -

@schratze @flaubau I don't think majority of names of common popular birds are? Not even in English probably; and in Russian the only other name I can think of is cuckoo. And I have just checked etymology of like 15 birds I could remember and the only one tracked to onomatopoeia is goose (although a couple more come from general words on sounds topic). Names derived from e.g. colors seem to be more popular.
@IngaLovinde yeah, slight exaggeration probably. It's always either the noise they make, the color they are, or their most prominent behavior

@owl @IngaLovinde in the widest sense, that's a behavior etymology. This bird is known for eating your pork
I don't have an explanation for olle though
