These little niggas right here. Fuck are they smart. I love observing them because of their intelligence. When I'm driving and I see them scavenging in the road, it's entertaining to watch as they casually hop across the double yellow or across the white line to sit on the shoulder of the road and wait for me to drive by so they continue doing what they were doing. The fact they adapted to understand how traffic works in remarkable, can we show some appreciation to the motherFUCKING CROW?
You see roadkill mammals all the time, squirrels especially with are considerably smart little creatures, never once have a seen a roadkill magpie. Not a single time.
Magpie in graveyard I know it's not but it's what you get

Yesterday I had a runin with a crow on a field I noticed the crow wasn't afraid of me getting close and just kept digging the dirt for foodI decided to help the crow out forage. At one point it even ate a wurm from of my hand I was hanging out with it for almost an hour before it decided to leave Now I plan of carrying bird food around in my pockets in hopes of identifying the crow again so I can befriend it
Look at them go
*pomf*
>>4894505If I ever get a pet blackbird of any kind, i would claim it's a raven and name it Quoth.
I learned recently there are two species of crows here that look the same but sound different. Now I like to listen out when I see crows.>>4894778Clever
>>4891895shoutout to these friends too. intelligence of an elementary school child plus the ability to fly. We're lucky they aren't bigger and don't have hands
>>4895003>CleverThanks but credit where credit is due, Quoth the Raven is a character in the Discworld books, the ride of Death of Rats just as Binky, the perfectly ordinary horse who can create his own ground-level (thereby giving the appearance of flight) and travel through time and across dimensions (leaving glowing hoofprints as he does) is the ride for Death Himself. https://wiki.lspace.org/Quothhttps://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/QuothEveryone's favorite character in these books is either Death or Susan (Death's granddaughter) but I tend to prefer Moist von Lipwig. He's fun. Fun fact: after they couldn't get the rights to make a movie based on one of the Discworld books (Mort, specifically), Disney made Moana instead. I can't imagine how much they would've absolutely buggered the whole thing had they managed to get the rights.
it honestly is incredible how many animals are too stupid to figure out The Road. One night I was driving to a job site and moved to miss an armadillo, I know I didn't hit it. An hour later when I was driving back to the job site the sumbitch was creamed right in the same spot I moved out of the way.
>>4891895>>4895007I like crows and magpies, I know people consider them pests but I like watching them do shit, they're very intelligent. There are a lot of them in my town and they hang out in big groups.
Magpies and crows come to my window a lot but I don't think they can get much out of the feeder (it's for sparrows mostly). Any ideas what I could do, bigger feeder or place some whole peanuts out there?
>>4894714Today I had success again I identified the crow, it was on the same field I tried dig in the dirt for it a bunch but it left after 20 minutes, probably because i didn't find enough food
>>4896881Give them the crow-specific feeders where they have to solve a puzzle to get something
>>4891895There's a reason these guys sweeped the floor with the competition.
>>4896916That's fucking sick.Smart of you to not just give it random food, but to help it forage.
I had to put a crow or raven down a couple months ago and I'll always feel bad about it.Not sure what happened to it but I found it in my yard unable to move everything but it's head. It was so aware it's crazy, the crow couldn't speak to me but it's eyes were saying a lot, it knew what was happening.When I killed it the reaction was so human idk if I'll ever forget that day. It's clear to me that crows are much smarter than even most children
