Crows are meant to be very intelligent. This video shows one making a tool to solve a task

This was on my local news the other night, Cambridge is near to where I live. It was a continuation on a test they did last year where the rooks pulled straws out of a cylindrical tube to get food to drop out (like a game of Ker-plunk).
They're smarter than people realise I guess. But I don't think they're about to revolutionise the internal combustion engine just yet though.
And on a completely childish note; Christopher Bird. LOL. What are the chances?

Ah Interesting Indeed. I always believed these birds were smarter then they were given credit for. :)
Oh birds can be very clever, my dad had a jackdaw that he looked after when he was a boy. It was very smart.

Hooray for natural selection :p
I agree. Birds are really smart. Hence an owl is a symbol of cleverness ;)

Birds are too smart to waste their time doing crosswords.:ohn:
That's very interesting, there are many tests these days trying to determine the intelligence of birds. They certainly prove that these creatures are smarter than we think :tmb:
