I heard a crow say "water" at a park once while at the water fountain. It was teaching another crow. I thought I was crazy until I learned they can mimic speech almost like parrots.
@I Dexios Divine I, unless I'm mistaken corvens in general are some of the smartest animals out there. I believe the Chinese Magpie is the smartest of the bunch.
@Pizzazz, that's so cool. I really like corvens. My house apparently has earned a reputation among the crows as a great place to go in the fall cause we have two apple trees. So during the fall I swear every crow in the city and all of his friends hang out in my yard.
@Steveman05, Crows are very intelligent and will often copy the actions of humans that they see repeated often so this shows that enough humans threw away their trash that the crowd learned to do so as well so it's actually more likely evidence that most humans will throw away their trash.
Crows are some of the most intelligent animals on the planet. They utilize tools, and can recognize and use some speech. Yet because they are scavengers and carrion birds, they are seen as pests.
