Very Clever Birds
They often take advantage of new food sources or adopt new feeding strategies to make their lives easier. In some cases, the American crow even uses bait to lure fish closer, so it can snatch the fish for its own meal. Indeed crows are known to be very creative.
In addition to foraging, crows follow adult birds to find where nests are hidden. It is not uncommon for them to steal food from other animals.
Crows are very smart and have great memories!
Several kinds of crows and birds related to crows (magpies, ravens, etc. ) have demonstrated a skill for recognizing human faces.
Magpies and ravens are both known to scold specific researchers who have gotten too close to their nests. This occurred regardless of what the researchers wear demonstrating that the bird actually recognized the person.
