Complete answer:
The house crow is the common name of Corvus splendens insolens. It is a subspecies of crow and belongs to the family Corvidae. It is the darkest crow in color and lacks the grey collar. Corvus splendens insolens is found in the Myanmar country. The species has the capacity to spread quickly all over the tropics. It can make use of resources with great flexibility. It appears to be associated with humans, and no population has been recorded to exist independently without humans. It is also estimated that it can persist in some coastal areas in southern and northwestern Europe.

Additional Information: -The house crow was added to the list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern in the year 2016.
-It feeds largely on refuse around human habitations, small reptiles, and mammals. Other animals such as insects and other small invertebrates, eggs, nestlings, grain, and fruits are also considered as their food. They have also been observed snatching baby squirrels, by swooping in the air. Most food is taken from the ground, but also the trees. They are highly opportunistic birds and can survive on nearly anything edible. These birds can be spotted near marketplaces and garbage dumps, looking for scraps. They have also been observed eating sand after feeding on carcasses.
So, the correct answer is, ‘Myanmar.’

Note: The house crow can be seen breeding in some trees in the local environment. They make several nests in the same tree and occasionally nest on public infrastructure such as telephone towers, electric poles, etc. It lays 3–5 eggs in a nest made of sticks.
