How Smart Are Crows?

Another really cool video from Science Friday shows tool use in the New Caledonian Crow. They even put a small camera on a crow for some video footage.



This makes me wonder what the crows in our woods are doing that has never been observed.

It's amazing that crows and magpies are so smart. I visited a youth hostle many years ago south of Paris and the owner taught mapies to take shiny jewel from guest rooms as a prank. It took my rings and a watch from the bathroom and put them on the bed stand several times before I figured out what was going on. Thought their were ghosts. :)
