Not sure who he stole the packet of crisps from, but this chap carried the packet to a pool,
dropped it in to soften the crisps up, then pulled them out to eat.
That crow definitely has the smarts!

Wow. I love how you show us the hidden ability of animals like this crow. You are lucky to catch one in an act and have some photographs of some of the impressive character of that crow.
Crows are very clever. I used to know someone who rescued one when it was a baby. It had been hit by a car and its wing was so badly broken that it couldn’t be released. So it lived with them in the house and even learned how to talk,
Really? The crow learned to talk? Wow. Very impressive. I never thought that could happen in reality. It is my first time to hear of that. I thought only a Parrot can talk. Very interesting.

Birds from the crow family are excellent mimics. There are a lot of videos on you tube, this is one if you want to take a look 🙂 https://youtu.be/wJlAeHxzDKE
Thank you for sharing the information, Carrie.
Carrie, I remember reading about this crow that used to drop pieces of bread into the pond, then waited for a fish to surface, then he got the fish and the bread. How smart is that?

That’s a trick often deployed by herons. Like the one in this YouTube video if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/wt8a53QWlb4
Crows are very clever, indeed! Animals are so fascinating. Lovely photo!
Thank you. They certainly are clever. I just wish I’d had my camera ready so I could have caught him dipping the packet in the water.

Like you said in the description ‘the crow definitely has the smarts!’. I can’t get over how clever it was to do that!
They really are incredibly talented birds. So underrated.
