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.
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. :)
