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.

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.

Years ago National Geographic had an issue entitled Animal at Play. Lots of amazing stuff, one of the animals was a Crow that repeatedly sledded down a little hill. He didn’t use any kind of tool, like this amazing little guy. He simply flipped over on his back.

Amazing vid!

Birds is SMART! Way smarter than we give them credit for!

Not to be picky (pun) but I'm not sure that's a 'Crow'.
The Russian translates into: 'Raven rolls off the roof'.

In any case, I think it's evidence that calling someone a 'Bird Brain', isn't such an insult after all.
Those 'peckers' (pun²) are smarter than most college grads, at least those with a BA in Psychology

Sorry but I loathe all 'Arts' degrees. My career is/was in SCIENCE.
So if it isn't at least a 'BSxx' it don't count for squat.
