A scientist says there is a perfectly normal explanation for the gorilla crow.
She said it was a large-billed crow, which accounts for its face looking"a little out of proportion." The large billed crow is a species found in Asia. As its name suggests, its bill is slightly larger than other crows, giving it more of a raven-like appearance.
"What it's actually doing is sunning itself. When birds sun they drop their wings and cock their tails. At the right angle that could obscure the legs and tail making it look like they're missing. Swift said that sunning is a common behavior that serves a few purposes. It can help the bird to warm up, while also helping to care for their feathers. By exposing their wings to the sun, birds can protect their feathers from bacteria and mites, she said.about sunbathing crows, Swift adds:"Far from being a signal of distress or heat exhaustion, observing this posture in crows is like watching them ruffle around in a puddle. It's a routine, and important part of their self care regimen.
Sunning is a possibility. Another is that the bird might be emaciated. The keel looks highly pronounced here, which could indicate loss of breast muscle. Tired or hungry birds also often droop their wings down like this., Swift said that from the photo, the crow appears to be a starving adult."If you look at the bird's chest you can see it's more V shaped than round, that indicates that it is emaciated," she said.
