Cousin to the crow

From the alpine elevation, among the groups of alpine choughs, the red-billed chough is heard by its hoarse, rather rolled cry. This acrobatic ace, from the corvid family, smaller than the carrion crow is distinguished by its black plumage and its red beak and feet. It nests in cliffs and feeds on seeds, berries and terrestrial invertebrates. It is a social bird that lives with a partner or in small groups.
