  1. Today I learned Crows can work out a problem better than I can….
    I'm going to get pet Crow just so I can ask it's advice on problems…

  2. Animals got more sense than what we give them credit for….now that was smart…I seen a video where a crow use bread to lure fish the the edge of the water to catch the fish

  3. If you think about it ALL birds like it when cars crush nuts! Better than stones to process in the digestive tract. often the shells are course AND salted. Plus Peanut Butter!

  4. Why did I misread this as crows using cars to carjack? Like in no world does that make any kind of sense, I mean, I am sick.

  5. Respect. Not only for the crow but also for the person who recorded it. Most people wouldn't even realize when such things happen let alone record it and share it with the world.

  6. It's not smart to be on road like this😂, they have brain of 7 years old, yes they are one of the smartest non human.

  7. Wouldn't it be easier for him to just grab that nut in its beak, fly somewhere where there is some hard ground, fly up and drop it from a height ? Would be less risky for one. Repeat that a couple times and it should crack easily ye ?

  8. Good idea Mr crow but a little precarious I would say. The risk factor is at the top of the meter of being road kill. Not too smart!

  9. They drop a nut at the crossing, and after it gets crushed by the cars, it waits until the signal for people people to cross, they fly down and get the nut

  10. So much effort, poor crow… don't be so greed, give crow more money that she can buy peeled nuts

  11. The crows in St Paul, MN don't look like this. I literally walk around them to the street when they're on the sidewalk. Their huge even the bald eagles near the Mississippi know not to try them. If they poke you in the eye say good bye to humans you goddamn cyclop.

  12. What an amazing display of intelligence. Not just hatching that whole plan, but also being aware of whether the nut has been hit or not, etc.

  13. They should have a coin operated machine that will crack nuts for the birds. A crow would be smart enough to realize that they first have to deposit their nut and then insert a coin to get it cracked.

  14. In belgium I see very frequent last time many jackdaws throwing nuts on roads for cracking them open all happend in a radius from like 15km or 9.5 miles i think

  15. I wonder if the crow learned that cars crush things really well due to its habit of eating roadkilled animals? Or did it happen from the Crow finding fallen acorns and nuts crushed on the road previously? Hmm. I think it's the second scenario, but maybe I'm not giving the Crow enough credit.
