Common ravens (Corvus corax, hereafter ravens) are the largest member of the order Passeriformes. Their average size is 1.2 kilograms and 25 inches in length (Cornell).

The female common raven lays 3-7 eggs in a cup-shaped nest made of sticks and twigs and lined with mud, fur, grass, and bark. The nest is placed on a cliff, tree, bridge, or tower. The eggs hatch in 20-25 days.

In this paper I tested the hypothesis that areas around nests of raven Corvus corax built on electricity pylons in an intensively used farmland are avoided by small birds as their nest sites. Birds were counted along 13 transects (length 1000 m, width 200 m) starting from pylons with raven nests, as well as 13 control transect lines which ...
