Researchers teach already way too clever crows how to combine tools:
In their experiment, they temporarily captured seven wild New Caledonian crows and presented them with a complicated problem that could only be solved by using a number of tools in a specific order.
The birds were placed on a perch, and tied to the perch was a string. A short stick was tied to the end of the string.
A long stick was placed out of reach, behind bars, but close enough that it could be reached with the short stick. Finally, a scrap of meat was placed out of reach of the bird, far enough that it could not be reached with the short stick, but could be reached with the long one.
By my calculation, this use of multiple tools puts them ahead of most rightwing bloggers.
