I wish to befriend the smart goth birds

The ravens at my city zoo would pass me pieces of straw through their cage and urge me to pass it back. We played for about 5 minutes

I read that crows inside Boston will constantly get hit by passing trucks but not cars.

#1 I watched a crow put kibble in our bird bath to soften it up

The shop crow used to do this all the time in the cats water dish

Most days *I* wouldn't pass the marshmallow test.

I have been summoned!

I visited your profile for more crow content. Did not find

Check favorites, there is a good one in there. I'll post some soon.

I highly recommend a documentary called “A Murder of Crows.” It’s fascinating how smart corvids are.

And sometimes they go sledding.

We have a pair that drop rocks on our slanted roof and chase them as they tumble then dive-catch as they fall off.

The use of toys (tools specific for the purpose of entertainment) is a rare sign of intelligence in the animal kingdom.

What is this, a bird for ants?

There are a bunch that lives next to me that sleds on the neighbouring houses rooftops every winter.

#4 did you know, most humans fail the larger version of this test about long term planning, that involves such things as global warming

My idiot neighbors rescued a crow. They're not idiots for that, they were idiots way before. They taught it to say "fuck you". 3 yrs of that
oldmarley
I fail to see the problem with them.

my goal for the new year is to make friends with a murder.

So many of these are outright wrong with no sources... Is this Facebook? Yes, corvids are intelligent, yes they are cool. Still wrong...
DespiseEveryone
Imgur isn't facebook. It's content is copied from facebook but it is a different site entirely... except for the content.
jabike2424
Not judging just pointing out your lack of source.

I'm not the one that posted the dump, nor did I make those images. Those that make the initial claim have the burden of proof.

Crows have also been observed basically knowing the time. Crows in New York have been observed gathering just before the morning rushes-

-in order to get their beaks on some dropped bagels and the like, and often observe traffic signals.

I lived in an old house built in 1607 in Germany and the crows would let the walnuts fall down the roof of barn to crack on cobblestones.

How did they communicate to the crows that if they wait, they get a tastier treat? For the marshmallow test.
zaraithe
We feed them dry cat food. Theres a large one called Pez Dispenser bc it gathers biscuits in its beak single-file, looking like its namesake

Crows and Ravens are different birds.

#4 marshmallow test was disproven multiple times already. The only indicator the marshmallow test shows is poverty, as only children...
Jak8714
The fact that the marshmallow test does not prove what it was meant to prove, doesn't mean it can't prove something else entirely.
Jak8714
In this case, it means that crows understand that they can get a bigger reward by giving up a smaller reward, which not only requires smarts
Jak8714
but also *trust*.
pewterpenguin
Used to scarcity/hunger, or lying adults would fail the test, and these children were almost entirely from poor households. Meaning the...

actual indicator for success was being well off to start with.

Remember, the theme of this dump is crows
michealangleo
i think then it is a question of age, assuming you control these variables. for instance a 1 yr old would pass? a 3mth? 2yr?
Yupurineutah
I have seen crows take turns harassing squirrels that are crossing a street on a power line so they fall and get run over by cars. 1/2
Yupurineutah
The 2 Alpha crows snatch those popped out eyeballs within seconds iof when traffic allows. 2/2
GoodBrotherGrimm
That's why I kill my own squirrels. Keeping those tasty eyeballs all for myself.

#1 ah yes, "considered as 5th Smartest Animals". I don't think whoever wrote that can be counted in that list.
HistoryHayden
So it goes 1. Mice 2. Dolphins 3. Humans 4. ? 5. Crows
OrangeFlavours
Mice are definitely not the smartest animal in the world. Their facts are just wrong generally.
TacoFox
The mice are hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings.
schlockchurch
What a creepy fact!
CumsInPies
A couple of these were less than factual. Shame too because crows are truly fascinating.

Crows are amazing. They're going to take over Portland, Oregon some day <3
CumsInPies
I hope it happens soon

You and me both, Cum. You and me both.

That's pretty common. Most of those fact sites literally just rip it off /r/todayILearned from reddit, and are incorrect.
