Dinner and a Crow

Good afternoon Silvia,

He should have gone to the bar for Happy Hour! Yes they are smarter than we think.

I now have a hawk (red tailed) that sits on the deck in the morning and waits for me to fill the bird feeder; as soon as I am about twenty feet away he goes over and starts eating for about five minutes; have tried to take a picture of him but as soon as the camera or phone comes out he high tails it out of here.

Make yourself a great day.

Yes they are very smart.  They can be quite daunting to try to out smart.

Silvia,

Yes, they are.  This time of the year they are building nests across from us, and I have seen them flying with big twigs, bigger than their bodies.  I also see them chasing hawks and squawking all the way.  A

That's a great picture, Silvia. I think this crow is waiting for a pitcher. LOL. 

Silvia, yes birds are very smart and that link about the intelligence of crows was amazing!

Silvia I did not realize crows were smart, but this one clearly is :)

Silvia, they are very smart and resourceful. They know where and how to grab an easy snack. They know they are relatively safe there too!

Hi Silvia,

I think all birds are especially smart or they would starve and many must be smarter as they tend to steal food from fellow birds. I think Crows are extremely smart and interesting enough where I live, we have owls and hawks everywhere but they do not mess with the crows. Some of the crows are probably bigger than juvenile hawks and the owls. Every since the movie "The Birds" I have been nervous around crows.

Hello Silivia,

Let's send a few thousand crows to Washington...

Funny article about the Six Terrifying Ways Silvia.  Have a good weekend.

Very interesting photo Silvia, sort of an artistic look. You did a great job. HAve a nice Sunday.

I recently had an entire flock of them outside my office in the trees.  They stayed about two days before moving on, they were very interesting to watch.

Hello Silvia ... Great title, photo and comments! Vegas Bob tries to stay away from "Crows or Ravens" because they represent darkness, death and evil. I didn't mean to ruin your post, I still love it and have featured it to the group:

 Hello again Silvia ... you may just be right! When I was hiking at Red Rock today there were to huge crows standing on a a rock looking at Las Vegas from a very far distance, it was so weird and I walked up very slow to them. I was about 4 feet from them trying so hard to figure why they were standing on this rock? By the looks of it they stand her all the time because there were bird droppings by the rock.

I had heard crows were smart, but I hadn't seen this information before.

Most animals learn to adapt to their environment or they don't survive.
