I’ve never discussed math with them but they beat me regularly at chess.
Why would they need to?
Most critters have more than enough intelligence for the needs of their own lives.

An example of how smart crows really are

What do we do with this knowledge?
well after millions of years recognizing the radius of their nests, and over the past 100s of years recognizing the shapes of the neighborhood bird feeders, I would think so...
And there was a study for this?? Good Job Guys!!!

How much did this a******* study cost??
Nothing to crow about!
So Moe was complimenting Curly when he called him a bird brain.
Why is this surprising? Flying animals have to recognize different,shapes. That’s why they can specifically land on branches, rocks, ground... Flash...they can also recognize textures, and colors...picking out food, insects,seeds,etc from scraps of paper, etc.
When it comes to chess, a pigeon will beat a crow every time. The pigeon doesn’t follow rules.
There was a study done that showed that crows remember someone who did them harm or attempted to. Years after the fact the crow will become agitated if they see them again and may even attack them.
Weirder, this reaction is passed onto their murder and they will react to the one time aggressor.
Getting way weirder, their offspring and THEIR offspring will react to the presence of the initial aggressor.
I’ve always wanted one; but for some reason, it’s illegal to keep a crow in the US - even though we used to blow up whole trees full of roosting crows, mistakenly thinking that they were ‘pests’.
Ferrets are illegal in California, but a lot of people have them, I don't think anyone cares.
Chickens can tell X from O at the carnival.
Ferrets won’t call 911 on you.
The reason they were outlawed is because they can be easily trained to steal money and other items. They are unbelievably smart.
