If you took a random crow from the wild and did nothing else to it but give it that puzzle to solve....I bet the crow cannot solve the puzzle.

The reason this crow was able to solve the puzzle is because it has seen and solved all the component parts before.

Don't get me wrong...crows are very smart...but they are not nearly as smart as that video leads you to believe.

I've been contemplating teaching the crows on my property to pick up small pine cones in exchange for food.

Kinda like this guy did:
