The Australian Little Ravens

For their survival instincts they are widely known
Australia's little ravens have ways of their own
Their cousins the Australian ravens than them a bigger type of crow
Apart from each other by size them you know
The Australian little ravens their eyes are quite pale
And it is quite hard to distinguish the female from the male
In pairs or alone and sometimes in flocks they congregate
And they are to be seen in every south eastern Australian State
In stick nest on a tree fork three to six blotched eggs the female lay
And in their breeding Season they mob and drive off birds of prey
From their territories from which with aggression they defend
Though to ground nesting birds the little raven not known to be a friend
Since on their eggs and their young the crows do predate
In Nature many of the vulnerable meet with a cruel fate.
