The crows' feathers must be deep navy blues

Do crows have black feathers?

Take a look at this photo of a crow I took at the Former Yasuda Garden. How do they look to you?

The crows' feathers must be deep navy blues with some purple tints.

I am not an ornithologist or a birdwatcher.

I just enjoy walking in the garden and taking photos of flowers, ducks and herons.

What I have seen recently is that crow feathers are not black. 

Unfortunately, the crow also appeared to have an injury to its feathers.

I think crows are often described as black birds only because they seem to prefer dark places. I photographed a crow when it landed on the edge of the garden pond and basked in the sunlight. Just then, I feel, the crow's feathers reflected the light and shone, showing their true colours. 

There are deep navy blues with some purple tints to it.
