PBS program Inside Animal Minds : Bird Genius -- of course we all know i will be biased, nonetheless the test comparison where they declared birds are smarter than dogs about solving problems was a very poor experiment with a resulting absurd conclusion. Would be the same if they turned out a Border Collie into an enclosure with sheep and then tried the same with the Raven/Crow. Not dissing crows or bird smarts. Defending canines. And proper scientific method. If you want to compare crow/raven intelligence to canine intelligence a much better experiment must be created. Give a different Raven/crow that hasnt already been primed to solve the mans puzzles the same test box, and give a Clumber a pnb sandwich way against the wall out of reach on a kitchen counter, with a sturdy chair in the room. Youll see tool use and problem solving more considerate of different species drives.
