Cool post, especially for a first! I've always loved crows, amazingly intelligent animals. Man I'm just falling asleep right now too. I'm still impressed they use tools. Does the video cover them dropping rocks in water to raise the level so they can get floating worms? Eureka!

Excellent thanks for this,will be back to watch this tonight.Crows around here are generally looked at as pests but i love watching them,they are extremely clever.

Regards to all

While most people don't like crows...I do. I have always thought they were one of the most beautiful birds there is. Thanks for the video!

Been waiting a long time for this one.

Crows are some of the most beautiful and intelligent birds IMO.

very interesting video. I had some crows in my tree in the yard and i would watch them every day building the nest and then raising the baby. Strange thing is there were three birds raising this one baby. I dont know if it was one male two females or two males one female, thought it was kind of weird to see birds in a love triangle though.

i've had the opportunity to grow up with a bunch of different animals in my life. ranging from wolves to peacocks, ferrets and skunks.

several of the animals we were lucky enough to get while they were still very young and impressionable, and would take to us like family. its truly amazing how people and animals can live in harmony and communicate to each other once this relationship has been bonded. its beyond comprehension sometimes.

animals are people too, sort of.

Do they explain why you almost never see a dead crow?

we have seas of crows where I live and in 10 years I have only seen maybe 2 dead crows.

If birds were humans, crows would be kings and queens. They even know how to count.

They can learn and mimic up to 10,000 words, more than any parrot.

I have a very stupid question.

Halfway through the program, it shows how the Japanese have to send workers out to clean the crow's nests out of the electrical lines.

As they are leaving to go out into the field, they had to stop at an intersection, it was "stop" in English. Why would it be English?

Driving from Colorado to southern California (and back) I've encountered 'gangs' of crows at a rest stop and gas station in Mojave. People feed them, so they pester you for food. It's hilarious! As I pulled into the rest stop in the middle of the night, crows flew down and perched atop the mirrors on my truck and peered in the windows. I had a bag of popcorn, and when I came out of the car with it, that, as they say, was that! They all but attacked me, cawing loudly and hopping around me. If you run, the crows do a combination hop & fly maneuver that is a treat to watch.

As I pulled away, they flew after me till I got a short distance out on the frontage road. They seemed to be both thanking me and requesting I stay and feed them more. I remembered I had some fiber bars, so I turned around and went back to the parking lot. They were like excited children that couldn't contain themselves. Blueberry fiber bars drive them into an absolute frenzy. I thought their heads were going to explode.
