In past blogs we’ve
discussed how intelligent members of the corvid family (crows, ravens and jays)
are—crows and ravens in particular.
As more and more studies
are conducted with these amazing birds we humans have been astounded to discover
just how truly smart these feathered creatures are—even seeming to use logic
and reasoning to solve “problems” created to stump them.
Click Here to see one truly astounding
demonstration by a wild crow named “007”.

The next time you visit
the World Bird Sanctuary be sure to spend some time observing some of our
Corvids. You may be amazed to see
them creating and solving problems for themselves with some of the “toys” that
we supply them for enrichment.
Most of our naturalists
will tell you that they really have to be on their toes to keep one step ahead
of our crows and ravens.
