A '''crow''' is a [[bird]] of the genus ''[[Corvus]]'', or more broadly, a synonym for all of ''Corvus''. The word "crow" is used as part of the common name of many species. The related term "[[raven]]" is not linked scientifically to any certain trait but is rather a general grouping for larger-sized species of ''Corvus''.
