The crow stole the bread
from the girl’s plate, and she cried,
“Give it back!” – He laughed.
Crows are highly intelligent.

Great stuff. Crows are more intelligent than most dogs (and most people). They can recognise human faces and remember them for years. Some of them can even mimic human speech. I feed them because I love them, and also because their presence makes my neighbours angry.

You’re right; they are very smart! Thanks for your visit, Oggy. It’s always a good thing to upset your neighbors. Good show 🙂
Don’t crows drink a lot in Ireland? I hear towns there have set up crow bars just for them! 😀

They also do something call “anting,” which means they sit on an ant hill and allow the ants to crawl over and bite them. Some say this is a way they use to clean their feathers, but some say that because the ants release a venom when they bite, it is not enough to hurt to crow, but it is enough for them to get a “high” off of it.

There was an essay by this guy who studied them, who basically said, big brains, no oppossable thumbs, and unemployed, it would be expected.

Unfortunately, humans are much less good at remembering faces, so the crow got away with it. The little girl couldn’t pick him out from the lineup.

That’s what she should have done! Yes, now you say it, it’s obvious. I’ll be sure to remember next time I’m asked to look at a crow lineup. 🙂

A crow’s beak is very versatile — it could be used to pierce, puncture, manipulate, and a variety of other tasks, which most specialized birds simply can’t accomplish. You can determine quite a bit from the way a bird’s beak is shaped. Short, stubby beaks are great for busting open seeds, while a long, tapered beak is great for fishing.
Not only is a crow clever, but they also have a multi-tooled beak \”/….which makes them even more clever.
