i am such a nerd, i ALWAYS tell people about that story that i read in the paper, to prove to people how awesome crows are. i didn't know there was a video though!

it just fascinates me so much that a bird can be closer to us in intellect in this manner than most mammals aside from some primates.

go crows.

Grackles are awesome.

I concur.

I love watching them around the end of mating season, all of their tail feathers fall out and they hop around looking like somebody chopped off their back end.

I'm a birder. (And "twitcher" is a term of abuse, in some places )

I suppose one could call me a bird nerd...as birds are my summer work. Keep it a secret though. This thread is so old however that I doubt it matters any more. Really? No posts since 2005. Outstanding.
