The ratio of brain weight to body mass is the same for crows and humans. Amazing in my book and I always like crows when I see ‘em.
***** am open to input and correction on this.

What are they, placing bets on the cat fight?

I thought the same thing. I thought “I should post Spiders buiding a web”. They’re master constructors.

Hi.
I have observed many crows and ravens up close in the wild, and urban settings.
Over many years.
Imho, very intelligent. Tools, commo, etc.

Well they’ve convinced me. We didn’t evolve from apes. We evolved from Crows. Amazing!

Aesop wrote about this in one of his fables over 2500 years ago.

There are some cool vids on YT with rabbits and crows. They are mortal enemies.

I had recently read "The Mind of the Raven Investigations and Adventures with Wolf-Birds" by Bernd Heinrich. I was a bit disappointed in that most of it was about the daily behavior and social interactions among members of groups. There was maybe a chapter and half toward the end that was very interesting that discussed interactions with other species and other elements that I been mislead by reviews to believe that the book was primarily about and would have wished there to be more information of this type. Still worth the read but didn't go far enough for what I was looking for.

They are smarter than many libs and Holyweird types.Gives a whole new meaning to the term "bird brain". "Lib brain" would be more appropriate.
