If you mistreat a crow, it will not forget. It will go and get other crows and try to kill you.

Wow!

Thanks for the ping, Beaversmom!

That looks like a Eurasian jackdaw, which is native to Europe/Asia (and very very rarely seen in America).

Basically, it's the Eurasian equivalent to the American crow. SUPREMELY intelligent too, as are ALL corvids.

It's hard to decide though if it is actually "playing" or trying to figure out how to get at the goodies in that ring (while not slipping).

My vote?

Call me undecided. Ha ha!

Thanks for the name--I knew you would know. I'm going to post a pic of a hawk? that was hanging around our house a couple of weeks ago--nabbing birds. We saw him do this twice. The second time, I got a pic of him up on the roof with his kill. You can kinda see the bird underneath him. I know he's got to eat, but I felt sorry for the little bird he nabbed. Nature is cruel :(

Looks like a mature Cooper's hawk. It's an accipiter, which to put it bluntly: It eats other birds!

I got 'em out here in the desert too. They love quail.

Fun to watch, but, yes, nature can be cruel to human eyes.

Thanks for the ping and the post.

Looks like a pretty smart bird to me, never saw a bird sledding before. :-)

I have a friend who went to Alaska to work in the fisheries (or something like that.) She said after work they would drive to the town dump and watch to bears. After eating, the bears would climb up the hill and slide down the snowy hill on their asses — then climb back up and do it again, just like school kids on a snow day.

And as for crows, I read that crows have been known to pick up nuts and drop them in the road — then wait for the squirrels to come by and get hit by a car. Then they feast on the squirrels. Can crows really be that smart?

I know seagulls carry clams and muscles high above the parking lot at the beach and drop them on the asphalt to crack open the shells. So maybe that’s what the crows are doing too.

It is amazing how much we don’t know about the world around us.

Thanks for your stories. I think some animals are very clever. I’d like to know what goes on in my pets’ mind.

That was amazing.

As a side note, I love animals and am raising 60 birds right now. Geese, ducks and chickens. My ducks can fly quite well and all of the birds come to me when I blow a whistle. The ducks fly to me. It’s kinda cool when all 30 ducks take flight in a flock and fly from their pond, across a field and over our house.

I taught them to come when I whistle, because I got tired of sounding stupid yelling out, “here, ducky, ducky”, “here goosy, goosy”. If you saw or knew me, you would see how ridiculous that looked. LOL

Anyway, that was a cool video.
