CROWS AND THEIR AMAZING INTELLIGENCE

Crows are among the most intelligent birds on earth. In Japan, crows have mastered one of the most ingenious survival tricks ever observed in birds. They deliberately drop walnuts onto busy streets, patiently waiting for cars to do the hard work of cracking them open.

Once the traffic light turns red and the cars stop, the crows safely swoop in to retrieve the nutmeat – timing their moves perfectly with traffic flow.

Researchers studying this behaviour have found that the birds choose specific intersections where cars frequently stop, showing they understand patterns and safety cues like traffic lights.

This behaviour highlights the intelligence of crows and their ability to adapt to their environment – turning the chaos of urban life into a clever tool for survival.

It’s amazing to think about how these birds can use tools, make plans, and learn from their experiences. Observing crows in Japan teaches us about nature and the surprising skills of animals in finding ways to survive and thrive in their surroundings.
