6 Terrifying Ways Crows Are Way Smarter Than You Think
FTA: Mind your manners around crows. Because if you mistreat them, they won't forget you and neither will their friends—or the next generation.
Yes indeed. Crows are not to be underestimated and their friendship should be cultivated.
ReplyDeleteI loved the last line of the article. Why are they eating garbage if they're so smart. They are very smart indeed.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
LL: I don't know about a friendship but simple coexistence would be wise especially since they're smarter than some humans.
ReplyDeleteThis is scary. I will make sure to treat them well.
ReplyDeleteSandee: They eat garbage because they don't have opposable thumbs. Be glad for that. Be very glad.
ReplyDeleteCrows are unique. Here is a girl who puts food out for crows and they bring her gifts.
ReplyDeleteWe put food out for all manner of bird, raccoon, squirrel, groundhog. None of them bring me anything.
They’ve always had my respect and admiration, and sometimes when they are sitting on the light pole near my house cawing i will talk to them. Always nice things, of course, in case they ever learn our language.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes them smart is teyu never crow about how smart they are.
ReplyDeleteJan: They're scary smart. Their brains are denser in neurons per unit mass than mammals.
ReplyDeleteKid: I read your link to the little girl who is brought gifts by the crows she feeds. The stuff in her box is amazing. The crows are going to be fed by these kind souls no matter what, yet these crows feel the need to leave a bauble in return. Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteMessymimi: Lol. I talk to animals, too. I hope for the day that they talk back ;)
ReplyDeleteEd Bonderenka: That's smarter than many humans.
ReplyDeleteI'll take most animals over most people.
