35 proofs that crows are distinguished by their intelligence and quick wits (36 photos)

Although crows have brains no bigger than a human finger, their mental abilities are comparable to those of a seven-year-old child. This allows them to use tools, solve problems, recognize faces, adapt to new situations, and even plan for the future. Below, you'll see some amazing examples of crows showing off their intelligence.





1. For several years now, we have been feeding a small family of four ravens (a couple and two babies)

I Just I was sitting when I suddenly heard a noise above me and saw a crow on the roof. She dropped the ball, watched it roll, then came up, picked it up and put it where it wouldn't roll away, and then just flew away. There's a family of crows living in a tree next to my house. They often look at me when I'm rollerblading on the path near this tree. But I've never fed them or bothered them. The ball has been there since yesterday. Is it a gift?
