Description
After some research I have managed to identify this crow.
The torresian crow ( Corvus orru ) is a native Australian bird and is protected under State Wildlife Legislation (Nature Conservation Act 1992).
It is a serious offence to harm crows. The crow plays an important role in natural pest management: they prey on insects and grubs, small rats and mice in grassland and woodland habitats and urban gardens.
Crows remove road-killed animals by feeding on carrion, and disperse many native vegetation seeds through defecation. The long-term conservation of this species is necessary for maintaining biodiversity.
Note: Their blue eyes turn white 3 years of age
