This bird has many differences with its other relatives, i.e. crows and ravens. Among them being a land animal so that he prefers running to flying even when he feels danger, having a pleasant voice and a pea-brown color. The Iranian raven is a clever and somewhat secretive bird, and this makes it difficult to observe it in the wild.

On the other hand, the complete coordination of the color of this bird’s coat with its environment, as well as the lack of flight at high altitude, reduces the possibility of seeing it in its natural habitats. Therefore, the general belief is that this bird has a relatively low population and density.
