I had to include the HN comments archive since the top post is pretty interesting. Crows are damn smart though. I really want to train some to bring money/shiny stuff to get food. It is apparently not too hard but I don't have any that live near me so I will have to wait I guess.

From the article:

>Crows and ravens, which belong to the corvid family, are known for their high intelligence, playful natures, and strong personalities. They hold grudges against each other, do basic statistics, perform acrobatics, and even host funerals for deceased family members. But we keep learning new things about the savvy of these birds, and how widespread that savvy is among the corvid family.

You could say that they are not stupid birds.

Had a crow eating my coworkers lunch far inside a building, while another stood watch and warned the other when we were coming. Smart birds.. They still hang around outside, and I think one of them holds a grudge against me, for the policy of always closing our garbage container during the day. Since I closed the lid one day to scare him a bit..
