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!

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.

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?

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.
