I can't stand crows, they are annoying, but there's no doubt they are smart and that's a cool video.

Crows are incredibly intelligent. One thing that makes them so interesting is they remember faces, for years. They are also able to relay this information to other crows and this information can be relayed down through generations.
Yes, they can be annoying, but realize they understand far more than we give them credit for.

Crows are amazing birds. They are very smart and really entertaining. I have 3 crows that have shown up in my yard every morning for 10 years cawing and starting a ruckus. I'd miss them if they ever stopped.
I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.

I don't like crows either but it's because I realize they're smarter than I am.

I have found an incredible admiration for crows and ravens in recent years. For the past few years, we have had at least one or two pairs nesting and raising their young in the trees near our house. The vocalizations that they use to communicate with each other are amazing. They use soft gurgling sounds when they communicate affection, emotion-filled, almost hammy caws from the babies begging for the parents to feed them. Although they speak a different language, their accentuations and vocals obviously mirror ours. They are always welcome here.

crows and ravens got two cousins the magpie and the bluejays and if you could train them to stay around your home, instant watchdog

The big difference for me is they don't use a "tool" to do it.

A guy I work with old me that when he was a boy, there was a crow that used to come and peck the aluminum screen door until he would he would come out and play with him.
Too funny..
