The Stresemann's Bushcrow (Zavattariornis stresemanni), also known as Abyssinian Pie, Bush Crow, Ethiopian Bushcrow, or by its generic name Zavattariornis, is a rather starling-like bird, which is currently thought to be member of the crow family, Corvidae, though this is uncertain.
It has been suggested that the bushcrow is a surviving relict ancestor to several of it's relatives. However, its taxonomic situation is still considered to be in flux.
It is slightly larger than the North American Blue Jay and is a bluish-grey in overall colour which becomes almost white on the forehead.

The range of this species is quite restricted, it being confined to thorn acacia country in southern Ethiopia near Yavello (Javello), Mega, and Arero. It can be curiously absent from apparently suitable country near these areas; the reasons for this are not apparent.

Feeding is usually in small groups and the bird takes mainly insects. Breeding usually starts in March, with the birds building their nest high in an acacia tree. The birds usually lay five to six cream eggs with lilac blotches. The nest itself is globular in shape with a tubular entrance on top. It is kown that more than just the breeding pair visit the nest and that the young of previous years help in rearing the young (Cooperative Breeder
