yes it is very interesting, more would be great.
I used to hate them as they woke me up every morning very very early with thier loud screams of gloom and doom. I am now trying to tolerate them without hate, but I really dont like them around my house.

I've always thought that most animals are more logical than many humans. Never thought to include the birds though. Interesting!

I did not know this! How utterly fascinating! You're are right on the human comparison! They provide a great lesson, too! It reminded me of a saying my BIL always used to say, "Take two and think it through." Shelly

A very interesting bit of information Naut.. I really enjoyed reading it and learning something new. Never knew they had logic in that something even humans fail at sometimes.

That's neat how some were able to think through the process so quickly. These experiments can yield some very fascinating results.

That's fascinating, Nautikos. You can't say they are bird-brained, perhaps they're just birds in disguise.

Nautikos
It is not logical thinking old chap, it is simply because they are always Raven-ous.

it's true. I've seen films where crows and ravens used tools. In fact they
made tools, shaping twigs, breaking limbs off so they could slide them through a tube to spear a bite of food and fork it out. Now if you could train one to reach under the fridge and recover dog biscuits ...
