That's not quite right. "Crow" and "Raven" are just names assigned to various species belong to genus Corvus. There's nothing that would say, designate a new species in the genus as a "crow" or a "raven". It's just based on whichever word the person naming the species prefers.
There are several very large species of crow and raven, along with smaller species of each as well.
The proper name for the collective group of birds would be "Corvids". But since most people don't like saying "Look at those corvids", they say "crow" or "raven". Neither is more or less correct than the other, it just depends on culture and individual preference.
It depends on the size of the bird. Those called crows are generally about the same size. Those called ravens are also quite a bit larger than crows. If the bird is distinctly larger than a European carrion crow, it will usually be called a raven.
Ravens are smarter - but only individually: Their teamwork skills are lacking.
Crows can work in teams of 2 or more, and work to achieve big goals.
While a raven can hunt and kill something giant or steal something from a kid through force, crows can distract one person, then steal the other thing.
Ravens end up fighting when they try to work together.
I would say that ravens would have more IQ, but crows would have higher RQ (rational) and EQ (social), which lets them do better.
Yup, I'm a huge raven/crow freak. The bird in this video is a raven. The bill, tail feathers, the telltale beard and size look like that of Raven. Typically a raven is twice the size of a crow and weighs about 4 times as much. The call is different too; more gutteral. There's a bunch of them that live near my house.
As a crow, I peronally am offended that one would make generalizations about my race and species. Not all of us "Dip" our tail feather, nor enjoy shiny things, signify death, and eat chicken and waffles.
Just putting that out there.
And Music and Lyrics was an awful film. If I could use a gun, I'd kill myself if I had to watch it. But I can't use a gun. So I'd just hate myself.
I agree with the posters who said this is a raven. Crows don't make those sounds and ravens are much larger, bulkier & "shaggier" in appearance. Also, the wing tips in ravens extend beyond the end of the tail whereas crows don't extend beyond the end of the tail.
no, ravens have a dip in the tail feather and shaggy throat feathers. crows hear sounds lower than humans can so they do make low sounds besides the typical "caw"
i'm THE #1 fan of Ravens and Crows, i'm just so obesessed with them, i'd do anything to own one or tame one at least :D

I can't believe people can be so ignorant as to think this is a crow!
Crows are little birds that go "cah!" Ravens, like this raven, are the size of chickens and go "CRRAW!"

Crows > ravens
Because crows are smarter, and ravens are just writing desks (google "why is a raven like a writing desk")
Crows are also team workers, so they will succeed in life.

I like crows better, but ravens are infact smarter than them.
