A crow I know...

I’d like to introduce you to Einstein! Einstein is an African pied crow, Family Corvidae, Corvus albus. He’s a very sweet bird who likes to say “hello” and make knock-knock sounds. African pied crows are about the same size as our American crows and can learn to mimic around 100 words and five phrases. In our education programs, Einstein will take recycleables (paper, plastic, and aluminum) from our audience members and place them in a recyle bin. He’s very fond of grapes.
