Intelligence

They have one of the largest ratio of brain to head of any bird, with a EQ of 4.1. They have the equivalent reasoning skills of a human 7 year old.

What is of the most impressive displays of intelligence is their ability to relay information across generations. In one experiment, a scientist wore a mask ans harassed the crows. Even though only a few members witnessed the situation, the whole group was able to identify the masked scientist as a threat. This behavior continued This behavior continued for multiple generations. Evidently, this was being taught to the young. Since, anyone who wore a similar mask or looked similar was treated the same way.
