I dont like cows, the only cow I like is the one in my burger.
And yes I know its crows
Rate dumb if extremely angry
I wish we had the Bad Reading rating back.
Nevermind, he's just a jackass.
Makes me want a pet crow.
You could probably domesticate one if you tried hard enough.
Wow, this is awesome.
Birds' brain complexity / body mass ratio is much higher than humans and other mammals ones, so no wonder why they are so intelligent :eng101:

Surely it's the size of the brain that matters, not the size of the brain compared to the body.
Why look under the cushions for lost change when you can have crows do it.

A lot of stupid animals have been known to have extremely large brains.

Remember this crow?

This, in my opinion, is actually amazing. We can train crows to use a vending machine, just like a regular human being.
I love crows :3:

Sad thing is, there's some human beings who can't properly operate a vending machine. :sigh:
Damn, I was expecting him to show the crows using the vending machine.
Still cool though.
This would be so cool...If crows weren't horribly terrifying!
Ah cool I love TED Lectures. They're usually quite interesting.

Ravens are my favourite bird and this just makes me like them even more
wow, very interesting
Where I live they're considered birds of death.
So the most intelligent species for each class would be:
Chordates
Land mammals: Humans
Non-human land mammals: Apes (in general)
Sea mammals: Dolphin
Avian: Crows
Mollusca
Cephalopods: Octopus
What other species could there be?
[QUOTE=binarybitz;25678298]Cephalopods: Squid[/QUOTE]
Cuttlefishes and octopuses are more intelligent than squids as far as my Cephalopoda knowing goes.
I think I would add "Elephants" into the land mammals group, and "Parrots" in the aves group.
this is why crows are scary.
Wow crows are pretty big. Much bigger than you're average NYC seagulls.

Parrots are excellent mimickers, but they lag behind in raw computational power compared to crows.
Crows are crazy smart, just watch this vid:

My jaw dropped when I first saw this.

I'm sure parrots are smarter, especially African Grey parrots.
I really dont like crows. I think I developed a phobia for them when one day I was simply walking down my street when I was attacked by the same crow three times!!
I mean it really went for me, swooping down and clawing me. I had to run away like a little girl while people wondered what I was doing.
It is pretty smart what they can do and I thought it was cool when the crow bent the wire into a hook. But I just cant get over how freaked out by them I am :/
I've always liked crows.
