The American house crow (Corvus domesticus) is a species of crow, most closely related to the Asian house crow (Corvus splendens) that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American house crow is a medium-sized species of crow, growing on average of around 40 centimeters (16 inches) in length. The forehead, crown, throat and upper breast are a richly glossed black, whilst the neck and breast are a lighter grey-brown in colour. The wings, tail and legs are black. There are regional variations in the thickness of the bill and the depth of colour in areas of the plumage. American house crows are highly adaptable and, in habitats disturbed by humans, feed largely on refuse around human habitations, small reptiles and mammals, and other animals such as insects and other small invertebrates, eggs, nestlings, grain and fruits. American house crows have also been observed swooping down from the air and snatching baby squirrels and prosimian primates. Most food is taken from the ground, but also from trees as opportunity arises. They are highly opportunistic birds and given their omnivorous diet, they can survive on nearly anything that is edible. These birds can be seen near marketplaces and garbage dumps, foraging for scraps. They have also been observed to eat sand after feeding on carcasses. Many trees in the local environment seem to be necessary for successful breeding, although American house crows occasionally nest on telephone towers. It lays 3–5 eggs in a typical stick nest, and occasionally there are several nests in the same tree. In some areas, they are parasitized by the American honeyguides (Indicator americanum). Peak breeding is from March to June. Large trees with big crowns are preferred for nesting. The conservation status of the American house crow is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American house crow's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
