Theviolet crow (Corvus violaceus) is a species of the crow family,Corvidae, native toSeram, an island in Indonesia. It was long considered a subspecies of theslender-billed crow but has been shown to be divergent genetically.[2] Violet crows have a dark black head and slightly blue black body and have a slightly shorter bill than most other crow species.
Violet crows primarily inhabit forests and plantations, although they move to more open areas and farmland to feed.[3]
