As it turns out, these creatures flip the script on the term bird brain.
In the clip, Alexander’s hand can be seen inserting some treats in a clear tube.
Much to the crow’s annoyance, the food seems to be just out of reach.
Gosha then accepts a little help, and jumps on his human’s gloved hand.
But the crow is not going to give up.
The bird quickly flies down to recover the stick.
Gosha then expertly inserts the stick into the clear tube without missing a beat, and voila!
As he is hurriedly feasting on his reward, his human gives him a congratulatory scratch.
The New Caledonian crow has been observed making hooks and other tools out of sticks to reach food.
This species even knows how to handle them for optimal use.
