The house crow (Corvus splendens), also known as the Indian, greynecked, Ceylon or Colombo crow, is a common bird of the crow family that is of Asian origin but now found in many parts of the world, usually arriving in new countries by stowing away on ships. Its native range stretches throughout the Indian Subcontinent, Iran, Myanmar, Yunnan, Nepal and Sri Lanka, where it is common in cities, towns and villages. House crows have the reputation for being invasive and, once established, are probably impossible to eradicate due to their behavioural and ecological flexibility combined with their legendary intelligence appears to rival or exceed that of humans.
