I had assumed that the ravens in Melbourne were Little Ravens but, after
taking a closer look (and listen), I was surprised to discover that
Australian Ravens are present too, at least in Box Hill.
I haven't seen any evidence of nesting but Australian Ravens seem to have a
fairly constant presence in my area over the past 12 months.

[Birding-Aus] Australian Ravens in
13/08/10 05:07 AM Melbourne?
Hello all.
I am very curious about Australian Ravens (Corvus coronoides) in Melbourne.
Apparently, they are not a very common bird either in the city or the
suburbs, but have been spotted from time to time. What I have certainly
never heard of is an Australian Raven nesting or taking permanent residence
here. This is what I would to find out.
Is there anybody here with experience in corvid identification (including,
for example, an awareness of any misconceptions) who can state with
confidence that they have seen an Australian Raven not just perching or
what not but actually nesting or at least maintaining permanent residence
somewhere in Melbourne?
Thank you in advance.
