Scientists have done a lot of research on the brainpower of crows and believe that they are about as smart as a 7 ­year-old child. Compared to their small size, their brains are very large, and not as simple as we think at all! Crows remember faces. They don’t just remember mean people and hold grudges (怨恨). 2 It was reported that a crow kept on bringing gifts to a little girl that kept on feeding it. Crows don’t just take tools and use them. They can also make them. 3 It seems that they value the effort they put into making the tool. 4 They throw nuts on the road so that cars would crush and open them. They also watch traffic lights to avoid getting hit. Crows are excellent planners. 5 For example, if they’re about to store seeds and see another bird watching, they’ll pretend to store the seeds, but they’re actually hiding those in their feathers. Then they’ll fly off to find another place. Next time you see a crow outdoors, you’ll know that you’re looking at one of the smartest nonhuman creatures on earth.
