Crows are intelligent and curious birds. One might even say mischievous at times.
While a crow’s brain may seem small compared to a human brain, what matters is the size of the brain in relation to the size of the animal. Relative to its body, the crow’s brain and a primate brain are comparable. According to Professor John Marzluff at the University of Washington’s Aviation Conservation Lab, a crow is essentially a flying monkey.
Whether it’s a friendly monkey or more like a fiend from “The Wizard of Oz” depends a lot on what you’ve done to the crow (or any of its friends).
Moral of the story, be nice to crows!
