So, it seems that scientists in Cambridge have recorded Crows using stones to raise the level of water in a tube to gain access to a worm inside. No fucking shit... I mean, seriously... watch this shit.
Some Japanese crows are known to use local traffic to break open tough to crack nuts, and then wait for the traffic light to turn red before swooping in to claim their prize.

Be glad I'm not like my father-in-law who uses a .22 rim fire with pellet shot rounds to get rid of the raccoons and such without having to worry about blowing a whole in his fence.
I've only ever known one "out" racist and he read everything he could on nature and thought biodiversity was fascinating.
Not even a hint of irony.

There's another bit to that NPR story with this crow... scientist... dude... who got marked by a group of crows for tagging one of their chicks.
After that, if any crow from that group would see him in say, downtown Ithaca, miles and miles from where the tagging happened, the crow would go nuts and call any other crows in the area around and basically tell them the guy was bad. And then those crows would do the same thing.
It got so bad he was at a little league game with crows circling over his head yelling at him.
Come to think of it, when I was visiting my mother in Alaska they had some big crows. We went through a McDonalds drive-thru once and sat in the parking lot and they swarmed the car so I hand-fed some frenchfries to them. Talk about scary, having a crow the size of a chicken take something out of your hand.

Beat so hard
Because we have way too many up here and they keep tearing up anything that gets left outside as well as being a general noise nuisance.
what i'm saying is, you're fucked
Watching one hop up onto the hood of a small car and seeing it's shocks wobble up and down in response to it's weight is quite unnerving.
Gets around
It's all well and good until one steals your laptop.

Crows man.
Maybe he thinks minorities should be the subject of nature documentaries?

He's still superior until birds learn to use cell phones as projectiles.
pigeons, though...
