Want to check it out for yourself? Watch this awesome video from The New York Times:
In this fascinating video, crows were tested to see if they could solve a complex puzzle to get a reward.

It’s almost scary to watch how smart they are.
Did you ever know a bird like this was so darn smart? Because I certainly didn’t… and now I’m kind of concerned. They seem WAY too intelligent for their own good.
Ever have a run in with a crow or raven and were astonished by their intelligence? Maybe you had one as a pet as some point?
