chough

Bird Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax of the crow family, Corvidae, order Passeriformes, about 38 cm/15 in long, black-feathered, with red bill and legs, and long hooked claws. Choughs are frugivorous and insectivorous. They make mud-walled nests and live on sea cliffs and mountains from Europe to East Asia, but are now rare.

The alpine chough Pyrrhocorax graculus is similar, but has a shorter yellow bill and is found up to the snowline in mountains from the Pyrenees to Central Asia.
