Crows Are Getting Smarter

Comments

I'm sensing a scene from The Crow 4: Evolution.

this reminds me of the crows (also in Japan. hmm) who build decoy nests to trick the patrol guys who go around pulling the nests down off hydro wires.

and wow, could i have worded this any better? fail.

American Crows in my neighborhood drop chestnuts and other nuts into the street and wait for cars to pass over them. And yes, they like to do this at intersections.

I've been telling my adviser about this, and she thinks its super cool. You wouldn't happen to be able to get video could you? For fun?

[genmaicha]

I can try. :) It's a bit seasonally dependent but I do have a camera.

[corvus_animus]

Haha, understandable, I just thought I'd ask before I forgot :)

I wouldn't say that "crows are getting smarter". They are as smart as they always were, only they're adapting to their surroundings :P.

[grygon]

exactly- they've always been smart, but people are just now noticing HOW smart.

That sir, is Libel! You have NO EVIDENCE of such wild and uncalled for accusations! You will be hearing from my lawyer!

I adore them. I have a non-releasable (I'm an avian rehabber, have been for about ten years) and he amazes me every day. They are also just so cute and cuddly and sociable.

[la_belle_laide]
