Corvids are so fucking cool

One of my most told animal stories is about a raven who learned to imitate the iOS message notification and used that to prank people. He'd wait in a tree, make the noise when they were close, and then swoop in laughing if they pulled their phone out, extra hard if they dropped it

Anyways that's one of the experiences that proved to me that intelligence or consciousness or w/e is not even close to a uniquely human trait. At this point it seems like an insanely arrogant and foolish assumption to ever have made, see also the impossibility of designing a trash can to keep out smart bears but not dumb humans

So if I train one how to read, it would be able to read twice as fast as me? 🤔

Time for actual Avian Intelligence.

"Read this and give me a summary, and I'll give you this entire package of Austin peanutbutter crackers."

I liked them already before the advertising movie with Brandon Lee

They are a hell of a lot better than coyotes at finding mice behind a combine. I usually see the ravens get 10X the mice exposed in a windrow than any coyote following me around.

I for one welcome our new crow overlords ❤️

Wife said I’m not allowed to feed the friendly neighborhood crows :(

We should be training crows to shit on traffic cameras.

Ha! Yet another squirrel collaborator plotting with the corvids!

We know what you guys are up to!

Sometimes I wonder why avids (corvids) let mammals (us) take over the world. What do they know that we don't.

I've wanted to make crow friends in my new city for the last five years. Always been afraid my dog would turn it into me having crow enemies.

This is just birds in general. Animal brains all process time and information differently.

Haha good 💨🖕⚡

Jk crows don't kill me
