    I thought Ravens were all black.

    Maybe a Magpie

    Magpies have a different beak.

    Yeah me either. I think maybe I saw gray and white crows in the UK.

    I'd have to look at my gazillion photos to see where I saw them. :)

    It appears the hooded crow lives in Germany, where this piece was made

    Just make sure you don't see a pair of maggies ...if you do, pull your collar three times and spit.

    Its a Young Magpie, not fully grown.

    Where I live Magpies are quite large and shy.
    In the suburbs of Sydney, NSW, where I used to live the Magpies were smaller and very aggressive.
    They used to attack the postman on his moped with his yellow helmet and they would peck car door mirrors whilst you were driving.
