charmingly, the author sometimes refers back to this digression without mentioning that Sam Gamgee is a fictional hobbit rather than a real research scientist

A CROW TRIED TO GO IN OUR CLASSROOM AND HE HAD A PEN

[t-hy-lla]

yes hello i am here to learn geometries

[girlwithalessonplan]

That crow is more prepared than some of my students.

[2-steks-an-1-rokc-deactivated20]

You’ve all just like, completely skipped over the possibility that this crow has seen people using pens in this room, found one, and is trying to return it. There’s been videos of crows picking up sweet wrappers and stuff and placing them in bins after seeing humans put their litter in bins. I really do believe that this crow is trying to return the pen and that is ADORABLE AS HELL.

THEY ARE SO SMART I LOVE THEM

[avatarofnightmares-deactivated2]

Crows are thought to be self aware by some scientists. Its perfectly possible the crow wants to return the pen to humans. Knowing it belongs to humans.

Another cool crow deal: Once, when trying to assess if crows could reason and use tools, scientists had two crows who didn’t know each other each take a wire from a table (one was hooked, one was straight) and try to grab meat from a bottle with it. The crows could see each other, though they had separate bottles. Only the straight wire worked for this, so they hypothesized that if crows could reason, the second trial would have the two crows fighting over the straight wire. The second trial started and, to the surprise of the scientists, the two crows both went for the bent wire, one held it down and the other unbent it. They both got meat out of their bottles. They came to a peaceful solution without verbal communication. Crows are probably smarter than we are.

they still shit all over the place and eat garbage

Cool facts about crows:

1. Crows understand the concept of gifts.

There’s a little girl who started feeding the murder by her house and they started bringing her trinkets (cool pebbles, coins, shiny things, bleached animal bones, etc) as a thank you. 

2. Crows remember who has been kind to them and tell other crows about the nice humans.

There are various examples of people who have helped crows and the crows not only come back to say hi, but also bring friends who need help over for the nice human to help.

3. Crows are the only other animal known to make tools in order to make another tool.

4. Crows have been proven to have a sense of self

If you mark them with a coloured dot that they can see and then show them their reflection in a mirror they soon realize that the reflection is them and not another crow.

5. Crows have regional dialects and accents.

They are also able to copy each other’s dialects and accents to fit in if they move to an area where the accent is different.

6. Crows regularly visit their parents after leaving the nest.

They also regularly live with their parents after reaching adulthood to help with raising their younger siblings for up to five years before moving out.

7. Crows have some form of complex communication that we haven’t figured out yet.

Experiments have been done wherein some people in masks harassed and terrorized a small group of crows until they became aggressive at the sight of the masks. They were then introduced to another group, allowed to mingle, and separated once more.

Guess what happened when the second group saw the people in masks?

They attacked. This group of crows had never experienced any harassment firsthand from the masked people, meaning that somehow the first group conveyed to them that masks = bad.

8: Crows are excellent mimics just like parrots, and may adopt an unusual sound as a sort of “family crest” to show that they belong to the same group.

Sometimes it’s another bird’s call. Sometimes it’s an actual word. Or a dog barking. just imagine hearing a bunch of dogs barking and looking up to see a huge flock of crows.
