    Crows and Ravens …
    Crows and Ravens are super smart and bold. I work on a drilling rig, in the middle of nowhere. One day a couple years ago I had a raven grab a chicken wrap from my moving truck doing about 30kph; drop it off then come around to grab another one. The Ravens learned what time we went for lunch, and how we transported the food back to the Rig.

    also, just lately, I had a crow get into a garbage bag full of my stuff, including GNC vitamins mixed with other medication. He ate only Vitamins.

    In Australia, crows …
    In Australia, crows have figured out how to eat Cane Toads, which are a very, very poisonous species of toad. They’ve learned to avoid the poison glands by first flipping the toad over, THEN attacking the soft underbelly. Crows are up there with parrots as far as intelligence goes, don’t underestimate them.

    Nope. It had never observed the behavior and it repeated it many times. Many crows can use hooks, New Caledonian crows can make hooks.
