Tumblr Thread: Informative Facts About How Cool Crows Are

It's amazing how many things we don't know about the animal kingdom. No matter how many cool and weird animal factsyour read and how many lists about underrated and unknown animals you look at, there will always be something new to learn. Did you know, for example, that crows are insanely smart animals? Well, you're about to learn some crow facts from this tumblr thread. 

Every time we see anything about crows, we are amazed by how cool they are. Birds, in general, are surprisingly amazing. Parrots speak in hilarious accents, pigeons put themselves to sleep, peacocks can be the biggest jerks in the world. Ugh, animals are so cool. The more we learn about the animal kingdom, the more we fall in love.

    We have seen too many videos and read too many stories about how smart crows are to believe that this is in any way an accident. This crow has definitely seen students in there using pencils and thought that it was only the responsible thing to return this lost pencil to its original owner.

    The more you learn about crows, the more you'll love them. They seriously get such a bad reputation what with the whole 'a group of crows is called a 'murder'' thing. Pssh. They do not deserve this treatment. They're too cool. It's time to give them the love that they've earned.

    Font - offendedfunyarinpa Another cool crow deal: Once, when trying to assess if crows could reason and use tools, scientists had two crows who didn't know each other each take a wire from a table (one was hooked, one was straight) and try to grab meat from a bottle with it. The crows could see each other, though they had separate bottles. Only the straight wire worked for this, so they hypothesized that if crows could reason, the second trial would have the two crows fighting over the straight

    Font - the-witch-maker Follow 7. Crows have some form of complex communication that we haven't figured out yet. Experiments have been done wherein some people in masks harassed and terrorized a small group of crows until they became aggressive at the sight of the masks. They were then introduced to another group, allowed to mingle, and separated once more. Guess what happened when the second group saw the people in masks? They attacked. This group of crows had never experienced any harassment fi

    Font - 8: Crows are excellent mimics just like parrots, and may adopt an unusual sound as a sort of "family crest" to show that they belong to the same group. Sometimes it's another bird's call.
