what's the dif?

[pagangoddesschild]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between Crows and Ravens other than their size. Unless they're side by side i wont know the size difference. I have three birds that hang around my apartment, the same three everyday and i'm curious to know whether they're Crows or Ravens.
Any help?
Thanks

Look at their beak. Raven and Crow have different beaks.

well, in my opinion, ravens are lithe and graceful

while crows are not so much, but close.
