This is absolutely fascinating? How do we know this for a fact?

Gifts of the Crow: How Perception, Emotion, and Thought Allow Smart Birds to Behave Like Humans, by Authors John M. Marzluff and Tony Angell. A fascinating book!

Thank you! I’ll take a look at it!

Hi ya’ll, I am a corvid scientist working out of the lab that conducted this work. I also did facial recognition as apart of my studies on crow funerals. Follow for more corvid goodness! Also I play a game called #CrowOrNo every week. Let’s have round RN: is their pic #CrowOrNo?

Kaeli, I got a weird crow question. In this particular picture, I see some blue color in its wings. Do crow (or whatever critter this is) have blue pigment in their wings? Or is this “structural blue”?

There's that real story about a young girl who found a crow with a broken wing?back? and patched it up. After it was healed and it flew back, she has been getting little gifts like buttons and shiny objects dropped at her door by crows ever since. I think she's in the U.S.

I remember reading about students at some university who tested this theory by messing with crows while wearing a mask. They began attacking anyone wearing that mask, even if it was turned upside down

But the really terrifying aspect of that story was how the crows themselves wore tiny little masks on their own faces. Where did they get them? Who made them?HOW DID THEY PUT THEM ON?

I messed with a crow once. Thirteen years later I get a knock on my door. There’s the crow, and a few of his buddies. “Hey Frankie,” the crow says to me, “remember me?” I thought they were gonna beat me up, but they just hacked my computer. Crows are really intelligent...

6 years ago i looked after one for about 3 months. it still comes to our balcony twice or thrice every year to chill for 1 or 2 hours then flies off.
