Description

Although I titled this Blackbird for artistic reason…this is actually a crow…please forgive me!

Crows and ravens show remarkable examples of intelligence. Natural history books from the 18th century recount an often-repeated, but unproven anecdote of "counting crows" — specifically a crow whose ability to count to five (or four in some versions) is established through a logic trap set by a farmer. Crows and ravens often score very highly on intelligence tests. Certain species top the avian IQ scale. Crows will engage in a kind of mid-air jousting, or air-"chicken" to establish pecking order. They are also quite adept at using tools! They pluck, smooth and bend twigs and grass stems to procure a variety of foods.
