Teila,
Please watch this short video of an Ornithologist and Professor named John Marzluff who studies the brain and intelligence of American Crows.
The video is called "Crows: Smarter Than You Think with UW Professor John Marzluff". You can do a Google search for it (use that exact phrase), or here is the direct link to it:
If you do a Google search, select the one that is 47 minutes and 58 seconds long. There are a couple of different ones from him with the same title, but that is the one I am referring to.
I am fascinated with Crows and how smart they are. As far as brain size, it's pretty neat that humans have the biggest brain (in relation to body size), then the Dolphin, then the Crow, and then the Chimpanzee and Bonobo! Their level of intelligence is equivalent to a 7 year old human child, according to many Ornithologists and Scientists. Oh, and whenever you see a group of Crows, they are most likely all family members from different generations.
I have a male and female Eclectus Parrot, and I feed Crows every day. There is a Crow that actually calls me "mama" (he is imitating my male Eclectus Parrot...he sounds exactly like him!).
They are really special birds with a lot of unique traits that are so much like us. Please watch the video and you will see what I mean.
I would love to hear what your opinion is after you learn just how special they are!
Take care,
Kim
