Crows Are Smart — Just Like Humans, They Hold Grudges and Use Tools

  • Scientists conducting studies in Washington state discovered that crows can identify human faces, remember individuals negatively, and create and use tools.
  • These studies built on background knowledge that crows belong to the corvid family known for intelligence and complex social behaviors.
  • Researchers observed that crows cache food but relocate it if another animal, like a squirrel, watches them, and they solve tasks such as the Aesop's fable test.
  • An expert pointed out that very few wild creatures approach humans by tapping on windows or ringing doorbells to ask for food, emphasizing the remarkable social intelligence and memory skills of crows.
  • These findings imply crows possess problem-solving skills comparable to young children and suggest complex cognition evolved with social complexity in avian species.
