In short: crow (corneille) vs raven (corbeau).

[wind mica]

Also, corbeille is trashbin. Don't mix them up.

Lol I had only just learned the word and I guess corbeille overtook it in my mind x)

Weirdly, I'd always learned corbeau as crow

[silk ridge]

Ravens belong to the crow family and corbeau comes from Corvus, the genus to which both birds belong.

We have corneilles here, as a kid I would call them corbeaux and was specifically taught not to because we don't have any here
