How to tell a raven from a crow. Made with corvid researcher Dr. Kaeli Swift for her blog post on the subject!

These are all well and good (accurate and informative and also fun) but here’s the best way to tell the difference between the two:

Ravens are FUCKING huge.

[fun-with-colors]

The best advice I’ve heard about this is as follows:

If your thought is “wow, is that a Raven??” It’s a crow.

If your thought is “Holy shit is that a CAT?!” It’s a raven.

A few Vertebrae Garlands are left in the shop 💀🌿 Next Garland update will be in late April or early May. . . Why the delay? Well, mostly because we only use bones we have gathered from the woods & each batch we gather takes a month or more to clean. . . Cold winter temps slow down our outdoor maceration buckets & limits our time outdoors .. limiting our access to bones ❄️🌨️ . . - luckily, it's warming up & We have several sets of bones currently in the cleaning process that will be ready in a month or two 🦷 thank y'all so much for being patient and just super awesome in general 🖤 . . . . . . #vertebraegarland #vertebragarland #igatherthedead #deertalisman #deerbones #heathensofinstagram #witchyhome #animist #witchcraft #honorthedead #takeonlywhatyouneed #vultureculture #deadwhenwemet #bonecollecting https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWOe2jPXzx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
