I crushed the walnut and then opened it with my hand, and stepped away. It then stepped closer and came back to the nut, but before taking a bite it looked up at me and the expression it had was what i could only describe as gratitude.

    I got to watch a good example of crows' cleverness in my garden yesterday. Our resident crow had found a hunk of bread, but it was stale, rock hard, so he couldn't eat it. To my amazement, he went to the bowl of water that we put out for visiting foxes, cats, etc and dropped the bread into it - then, when it had softened in the water, lifted it out and ate it.
    (Edit) Since I posted this, I looked it up on Google and what I saw has been seen many times before.

      Ducks do this also. Making your food edible is fairly fundamental and I suspect many animals do it. Seagulls for example drop shells and crabs on the concrete from altitude to break them and then come down to eat if their meal hasn't been stolen in the meantime. Quite fun to see.

      Crows are known for their problem-solving skills and ability to use tools. In fact, studies have shown that crows are among the most intelligent of birds, with the ability to solve complex problems and even use tools to obtain food. This behavior of using water to soften food before eating it is just one example of their cleverness. It's truly fascinating to witness such intelligence in action in our own backyards.

    I once adopted an injured crow last month. I put it in the cage for few days, I put some sunflower seeds and water. I forgot to put some food in a day and I saw some crow giving the injured crow some small fruits and insects. The crow managed to escape by opening the cage door, it is fully healed. Crows are intelligent animal. Some crow are visiting in our window, they put some buttons, keys, stones and etc. I am think it's a gift for me because I helped their friend.

      It's wonderful to hear that the injured crow was able to escape and fully heal with the help of its fellow crows. Crows are indeed very intelligent and social animals, and they have been known to show gratitude and form bonds with humans who have helped them in some way. It's possible that the items they are leaving at your window are indeed gifts, as crows are known to exchange items as a form of bonding and communication. It's heartwarming to see the connection between humans and animals, and it's clear that the crows appreciate your kindness towards their friend. Keep observing and interacting with them, and who knows what other insights and connections you may discover with these remarkable birds.

      That's what happens when you don't think these things through. Lemme put it onto perspective. Let's say a village has one of it's members killed by a bear. That bear is one of the only major predators in the area, with wolves keeping away from it's territory. Let's say one of the villagers decides to kill the bear in retaliation. Now that the bear is dead, the wolves move into the territory and they now frequently attack the villagers. Without the bear keeping them away, it leaves heavy consequences for the village and possibly surrounding villages.
      Tl;dr, all actions have consequences and you need to forsee the risks in how dealing with one problem may cause more problems to come up.

    I know a certain murder of crows, we are... friends. It all started few years ago in the winter, when i notice a dusty crow sitting near the door at the balcony. I figured she is cold, or something is wrong, so i let her in for a while. birb was fun and games, friendly, but she didnt want to be touched. She got some food from me and went on her merry way. Was a cool experience, absolutely epic. Oh, how naive i was. These bird are clever. they remember. They think. Week passed, and there she was again. So, the usual business like before - went in for a while, explored a little, got some food and gone. This went until the winter passed. (crows moved to our part of the city only for the winter, then they moved and return only the next year) But this time.... this certain crow stayed. And 3 more came with her. They lost interest in exploring the house, so every morning and evening, they just came visit on the balcony for their food. (mostly scraps of meat)
    Time went on, and i moved out from the old house. Was kinda sad for me, losing my "friends"
    For a while. 5-6 months into a new house. I noticed 4 crows sitting on a opposite roof, looking at me. I didnt pay much attention to it. Before i knew it, i was feeding them all over again. Even bought them a new rail, so they can sit on the balcony while its raining. (they use it, trust me) and yes, Its the same murder. Apparently crows in wild have kinda large teritorry, and since i am only 2 km from the old house... yeah. They found me. I am stuck with them forever.

    It should be clarified that, as was mentioned in the clip, the crow did complete these tasks on their own seperately, in this instance he was just doing them altogether. Still impressive tool use and memory, but they don't necessarily learn complicated new tasks just as simple as this on the first go. It's not the speed at which they learn things, it's the fact they can learn them at all that's so impressive.

    For 11 years I studied a mated pair on my property that lived in a willow tree. I saw many amazing things they did, including one day they came to the empty field across the street. Someone had dropped a fast food sack in the field. The crow pulled out what looked like a small styrofoam coffee cup. He couldn’t reach whatever was inside. The female tried. Nope! Then he blew my mind! He stuck his face INTO the cup and grabbed the edge with his beak and took off into the sky, the cup obliterating his sight completely! Now, these crows knew this area extremely well. It was their home turf. He flew over the first apt. Buildings roof...must not have been what he needed....and on to the next one, which was just right. He landed at the very top, the apex, and promptly dropped the cup, which then rolled down the roof, spilling its contents in a line as it rolled. Then he and his wife went and enjoyed a line of delicious SOMETHING from the spilled cup! Genius! I was never at a loss for entertainment from that pair! And wherever he went, she was right behind him! They mate for life! Super wonderful birds, just love them!

    I like how he's looking around, while solving the puzzle, to make sure that there're no other crows spying on him, which might then steal his reward. I watched another video, in which crows put treats in hiding spots for later, and other crows would spy on them, and then steal the treats for themselves. Then the first crow would only pretend to hide treats, in order to distract the crow thieves, and while they were occupied with the false hiding spots, the first crow would then actually hide the treat, now that he was not being observed. It makes me think that tetrapods would've kept evolving greater and greater intelligence, and would've taken our place, as a type 0 civilization, if not for that pesky K-T extinction event.

    Imagine automated feed stations distributed throughout suburban areas where crows could bring cigarette butts, pop top tabs from cans, bottle caps and various other bits of common litter to exchange for food. Training a 'seed group' of crows would likely result in wild crows observing and mimicking their behavior. I wonder what other tasks they could do, especially after multiple generations of crows learning task/reward behaviors...

      Cigarette butts would be a tricky one. The reason why they're such a big problem is because most birds and rodents are attracted to them, and try to eat them, but then they get impacted in their digestive system until the die. Several small animals have been found with stomachs full of cigarette butts. For that reason, it would be tough to teach even a rather smart animal, like a crow, to exchange their tasty (but harmful) treats for boring old seed. It really would be great to utilize their intelligence for cleanup, though, just maybe not for those pesky cigarettes.
