The violet crow (Corvus violaceus) is a species of the crow family, Corvidae, native to Seram, an island in Indonesia.

It was long considered a subspecies of the slender-billed crow but has been shown to be divergent genetically.

[2] Violet crows have a dark black head and slightly blue black body and have a slightly shorter bill than most other crow species.

Violet crows primarily inhabit forests and plantations, although they move to more open areas and farmland to feed.
