NYT article: Caledonian Crows (1 Viewer)

According to this interesting article Caledonian Crows are bigger brained than other corvids & are comparable in cognitive capacity to elephants & chimps. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/01/science/01angier.html?_r=1&ref=science

That's in New Caledonia - you should have seen the ones in Old Caledonia that used to hide in the shadows of street gas lighting in winter so they could swoop down and take an unguarded chip from an unwary (= drunk) Scot! Ah, memories...
