Subject: RE: BS: Crow (bird) cracks nuts in Japan
Proving that crows are intelligent enough to recognize behaviour that is "personally rewarding," and have sufficient communication skills - or the ability to steal methodology from others - for the knowledge to be passed on to others of their ilk.
Obviously, crows have at least the same level of intelligence as a moderately successful politician.
(Anyone who's watched crows in the wild much will not be too surprised at this, although it's at the "top end" of what I've seen them do.)
