Crows might be the smartest animals on the planet. This one got a tad unlucky.

A small brush fire in Old Concho was started around 1:30 p.m. on April 22 by a crow that was wiresitting on a telephone pole. According to Vernon Fire Chief James Borrego, the crow touched the wire in such a way that the bird caught fire and fell to the ground.

I don't see how that could happen unless there was a poor design, or there was something wrong with the wires or pole.

Both crows and stellar jays have swooped down and snatched pancakes off of unattended plates a couple of times over the years on camping trips.

I read in an old folklore book that crows are attracted to smoke. They use smoke to cleanse their feathers and body from mites and other things. They are even smart enough to have picked up discarded cigarettes or embers that are still burning and carry them to barns to start hay fires, just to make smoke. This is why crows got the reputation of being bad luck. Farmers would always shoot any crows they saw hanging around.
Crows also mate for life and hang together in families, aunts, uncles, cousins. When you see a flock they are all related.
