Ravens are large black birds that scavenge for food scraps and dead animals. They are often seen on the road eating roadkill. They are also good fliers and often can be seen flying high above the sky accompanied by the far-carrying child like wailing cry of "aaahhhhh aahhhhh...." in a slow drawn out finish.

The Ravens inhabit a variety of areas except closed forests, so they can be found throughout the Blue Mountains where there are no dense trees.

These birds are often attacked by Noisy Miners and Magpie Larks in flight.
