Default Clever Crows 'Have Child's Reasoning Ability'





[Crows have the reasoning ability of a
seven-year-old child, new research suggests.
Scientists challenged New Caledonian
crows with variations of the Aesop's Fable
The Crow and the Pitcher, in which a
thirsty bird dropped stones into a
jug to raise the level of water.
The six crows in the study worked
out how to obtain floating food
rewards by dropping objects into
water-filled tubes.]

Crows are very clever birds. Of all the birds that visits our country roads they always know when to move to avoid being hit by cars.

Clever lovely birds

They're known to communicate with one another in an actual crow language and can remember specific human faces as well, scarily clever animals

Isn't mankind arrogant? Every creature on this earth manages very well to live, reproduce, raise it's young etc.etc. Now if they pass a child's test we "assume" they have intelligence.
