Southern Nutcracker

Nucifraga hemispila

Least Concern

The Southern Nutcracker is an intelligent corvid of Europe, North Africa, and temperate Asia. It uses a strong bill and flexible behavior to take insects, fruit, seeds, eggs, carrion, or scraps, and many jays, magpies, crows, and ravens cache food, solve problems, and give varied social calls.
