Ravens at the Tower of London.

Smaller-bodied species in the genus Corvus include the crows, jackdaws and the rook.

In some cases the diet of the raven is similar. Most ravens eat some sort of fruit, such as dates, or berries. Most are omnivorous. The ravens look similar to another common bird, the crow, being related.
