You’ve got to love TED. In this video Joshua Klein discuss his findings around the interesting intelligence crows exhibit. There are a lot of stories about crows and how intelligent they really are but it is my first time I learn more about this subject in an very interesting and entertaining way.
One of the ideas that I like the most is connected to what Joshua mentions at the end of his talk. Because crows are so adaptable and because it seems like we can training them, then why don’t we use their ability in a human-animal symbiosis-like system. Crows can be trained to pick garbage or do other useful things for which they can be rewarded. I think that this is a very interesting idea worth exploring.
