I am watching a white crow in my village in Cornwall at present. It isn’t pure white, but more a very pale grey. I belive it maybe a youngster as it flies with two other crows which I believe are it’s parents. One of these crows also has white patches. I am trying to get a photograph.

I do hope the SPCA will contact an expert before releasing this bird and hoping for the best. I would suggest Vanessa at Corvidaid is the person to go to for advice.

I am so glad he was rescued!! I don’t know if releasing him back into the wild is the best choice though. He was already in danger. Animals that have his trait have less of a survival rate, as they become easy targets for predators. He is unique and should be kept safe. That’s what this snowy the crow lover thinks anyway

This is a wonderful news story, I study corvids and welcome positive crow news! I’d like to comment that I don’t believe this bird is a “species” or “breed”,as you suggest as such things I have not read about. Albinism is not unheard of in corvids although it is rare and notable.This crow may not be a true albino as indicated by its eye colour but I believe it is an albinoid- white as a result of impaired or reduced melanin.

If he is that special he Probably requires a special life. Don’t risk his life by letting him back in the wild. If he’s cared for sufficiently he should be very happy
