Smoking Crow

Awii was trying to show off for the camera by attempting to balance on one foot. Despite his collection of this and other amazing tricks, he is really no match for crows.

In terms of body to brain ration, crows are way up there with dolphins, chimpanzees, and really close to us.

All things considered talks with Candace Savage , the author of Crows: Encounters with the Wise Guys, a book I have on my "want to read but probably never will" list.

The interview contains a little story of how crows not only know what kind of tool is useful in a given situation, but they actually build these tools from available materials.

Although, I have had to wonder about crows intelligence since I caught this one smoking a cigarette.
