The bird is a paid actor
No wonder Óðin had two Ravens. Húginn and Múninn were just as smart, and wise, as HE!
Birds are the closest living descendants of the dinosaurs even closer than the reptiles. Scientists know this from their bone structure and body systems. Most birds are smarter than many mammals relative to their size. And are great tool users and communicators.
Big truss
Hi we are to f can do
In Baltimore, some of them are over 300 lb.
We Humans are really the stupid ones.
We are naked apes, just arriving and messing things up.
All nature is sharp as a needle and we go home from our office and watch tv all evening.
I have learned something today, thank you very much.
Thinking about what others are thinking is pretty high-level cognition.
Dumb bird doesn't even realize there are cameras around him
You little thief ???❤️
bbbaahhhahhhaaaa…. my dear friend Georgie is absolutely right : " they love you in their accountability on YT "
trop malin ses corbeaux dommage qu on nen trouve plus beaucoup
Just feedum your wooden pork fat head gross
Dear America. Please elect a crow or raven for your next President. They’d be far more intelligent, strategic & sensible. And far less annoying, even when cawing loudly!
The Oceans Eleven soundtrack was a very nice touch
Hats off to the production team
Used to watch them leaving their perches to forage in the morning- then return at dusk.
Anyone remember Spy vs. Spy in Mad Magazine?
What throat sack is he carrying stuff in? Crows have no Gular or throat sack. Once food has gone past the back of the tongue they have to shake their head vigorously to remove it or regurgitate if it's slipped down the esophagus. If you look into their beak there's no orifice leading to a throat sac nor any space for one?
squirrels do this with nuts too!
Smarter than most leftists… they will protect their stuff and plan for harder times. But they are also thieves like leftists trying to steal other peoples stuff….
Basicly, Light Yagami and L of animal world.

Thanks for sharing. I love this information. Love these and many other birds.
One of my favorite birds (the other being bluejays). Amazingly smart.
raven spy vs. raven spy.
Hey…that's the researcher from Valley of the Raven…highly recommend watching that for you Raven people out there!
And here I am looking for my glasses with my glasses on.
One mature raven always took the food I put out ONLY when I looked away! About a month ago he saved a female, pregnant rat after that was taken aloft by a falcon…and the raven made the raptor let go of the rat (raven`s buddy from the trashpickings). Raven then guarded the dazzled rat which fell through a big tree to the pavement from the many onlookers. But as I went there, raven greeted me, tickled the dazed rat back to a jump. The shopping bag I put down was promptly occupied by the hardly injured rat-so I took her to safety and left her with food. Ever since that raven only eats my food if I hand it to him(her?) and not even throwing it. We became friends as we saved the rat mom to be.
brilliant !
Never more!!!
God I love Corvids. I bet some of them are clever enough anticipate a fake stashing being done, and then just incognito keep following the stasher who then may let eventually let their guard down. I'm sure the birds also remember individual birds, their tendencies, socialization and reputations in this game.
Air: Raven
Sea: Octopus
Land: Dogs!
1:49 “strategical” ? The BBC seem to be letting their standardosities slip. It’s only to be expectedentificated I supposify with the growing number of, post-modernisticacious millenialisingosities.
Spy vrs Spy Mad Magazine ?
Captive birds? …..nice….whatever.
it looks a little bit dangerous
They're so beautiful and amazing. I wish i could own a raven sanctuary.

Spy V Spy Geopolitics..
Or
Bullwinkle and Rocky

Boris and Natasha
Ay Rocky….watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat.
I would not be shocked if it comes out that ravens has the same level of intelligence as humans. The only difference is our ability to grip and that we are a highly social animal
Bamboozling Vs Bamboozled
If man had wings he would be only half as cunning as a raven.
finally i will be able to use it in the new pokemon
I observe this behaviour regularly in crows and grey squirrels.
Developing an inferiority complex after this.
We could possibly be overthinking this?!?!!
damn these birds are smart ass shit. there like little thieves and crooks lol!!
