American Crow: The Trickster of the Bird World
Listen now
Description
The American crow is a large passerine bird (song bird) of the family Corvidae. American crows are highly cunning and inquisitive, which makes them tricksters spirits. Crows both use and make tools, which is one of the reasons why crows are considered to be among the world's most intelligent animals. They’re probably smarter than a five-year-old child. Caw Caw The Bad The Norwegian wolf is extinct, and it’s 100% humans' fault. Marjorie Taylor Greene is an idiot, and anyone who supports her is a moron.  The Good People who are fully vaccinated against covid-19 are far less likely to infect other people with Covid. Awesome, get fully vaccinated if you haven’t already. Landfills, and otherwise useless land, can be turned into useful solar farms, which can help local, low income families have affordable power. Crows steal food from other species, often in creative ways. Crows understand water displacement, something human children don’t necessarily understand. They are social birds that recognize human faces. Seriously, don’t tick them off. Crows hold grudges, and they’ll teach their friends and children to recognize you and hate you, too.  Crows can learn to mimic human words like parrots, and will mimic birds of preys' calls in the wild. We don’t know as much as we should about crows outside of the lab, because they’re almost too smart to study. Crows will eat almost anything, and are adapted to human society. Which is why Amber calls them garbage pits of the bird world. They’re basically very smart flying racoons.  Listen now to learn about American Crows, the bird proving the term bird brain wrong since forever.
