CROW SMARTS
CROWS USING TOOLS IN THE WILD
A juvenile crow (making begging noises) tries grub-fishing. We edited out some of the middle; altogether it took this crow about four minutes of work to get a payday.
Little Feather and Lefty (probably Little Feather’s parent) fish for grubs. Notice how Lefty fashions a tool from a spiky twig, and always keeps the end of its tool along the left side of its head.
This time Little Feather provides a bit of help when a tool gets dropped.
