If you called a Raven a “Crow,” the raven would surely be insulted, and probably carry a grudge. If you called a Crow a “Raven,” the crow may or may not be insulted, depending on it’s mood. Do you live in the city or the country? If you live in a city you’re most likely in the company of crows. Ravens prefer larger territories and the solitude of open country.
