That's unbelievable. I want a crow for a pet. It could probably teach me things.

 

[Raziaar]

Yeah, I've seen those videos, but it's nice seeing it in a full video form linking them all together.

Very nice, thanks!

 

[Nid Banikeri]

That was really interesting, especially the bending the wire. Although I did misread the thread and was expecting cows

 

[Gray Fox]

I've seen and read a good deal of info about the intelligence of some animals, but this video really stand above most of those, it does an absolutely amazing job of illustrating crows mental capacity.
AKA thnx for posting, don't hesitate to post more.

 

[Dekstar]

Look into parrots too, recent research indicates that they do not merely mimic, but that many of them can actually understand and use human language to express themselves including correct grammar, and that some parrots can actually teach other parrots to speak English. It's absolutely fascinating.

I want a pet crow. I wonder if I could talk GVSU into letting me keep one in my dorm.

 

[lame-o]

I can see someone using that approach to crows in a very bad way...

 

[Cavalry]

I saw the title and Raziaar's avatar.

Needless to say, a misread has occurred.
I want a pet crow now though

 

[Unfocused]

the cat and the crow story is amazing and so cute

 

[Dekstar]

CUUUUTE. Crow + Cat = cutest thing I've seen for ages.

 

[CyberPitz]

Oh god, Crow + Kitten warmed my heart.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Stupendous

 

[Raziaar]

A crow feeding a kitten? That can only mean one thing.

Fattening him up for a big asphalt feast!

 

[Ravioli]
