White- necked ravens will also readily take carrion from road kills. Fruit, grain, insects, small reptiles, peanuts and human food are also readily taken and the bird forages in back yards and gardens quite openly. Like all or most raven species, the White- necked raven form flocks after leaving their parents and once fully matured will pair off and form territories.
