Question: How smart is a crow

Crows are really smart! They are among the smartest animals!
According to professor of Behavioural Ecology at Oxford’s Department of Zoology, Alex Kacelnik, a scientist that has been studying crows for 15 years ( =O ), there’s a large class of problems they can face which are not necessarily those they face in nature, that’s why we call them ‘intelligent’, because they are capable of doing a variety of different things that they have not necessarily been selected to do. If you look for videos of crows, you’ll see them doing amazing things and even solving problems, like the crow that drops a nut into traffic and onto a pedestrian crossing so a car can drive over it, then waits for the lights to change before swooping in to safely grab its prize!
