it sure seems that they do- reports of crows taking walnuts and flying to busy streets, dropping them on the streets, then waiting for cars to crack the walnuts for them-

They can also remember specific people, the way they dress- years later- they know which folks present a risk , and which ones don’t- they remember years later which folks would feed them- and gather around when they see the people even years later- after an absence- according to some reports on crows

They’ve done elaborate intelligence tests with crows that clearly show tool usage—like a crow will use a piece of twig to get at a treat that he can’t access otherwise.

That reminded me of the condor that was injured when young and nursed back to health by a man in South America and returns to visit him from time to time.

Longer video.

“...can also remember specific people,...”

Which is why modern man finally evolved to have a mask.

Science says crows are unusually smart.
Crows don’t wear masks.
Another science settled.

A solid 98% of crows agree scientists are useful tools.
