Joshua Klein: The amazing intelligence of crows


I already knew Crow's were intelligent but this just expands it even further. They are amazing animals.

Oh, I remember this video!  It's really amazing. :D

I love crows but my heart will always lay with ravens.  Corvids in general are highly intelligent and capable of some amazing things!  I think you can find some videos and articles on BBC's news site about recorded lab tests with these birds showing off how impressive their bird brain really is.  In fact I am reading a book about raven intelligence (Mind of the Raven), it's really interesting and not too full of technical mumbo-jumbo, if you're curious about them it's a really good book.

I think you're going to like this article. (Be warned - it's long.)
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

Thanks for the info, I will be sure to look it up.

Violence

That was really interesting. ^.^

I'm very much a fan of trained symbiosis with so-called "pests" like crows and rats as opposed to extermination of them.
