Crows are the Einsteins of the avian world - Telegraph: Aug 20, 2007 12:56pm 11 reviews birds
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/earth/200...; Crows are indeed clever creatures. There's an old story in India about a thirsty crow who encounters a pot with water inside. The crow is initially puzzled over how to obtain water from it - the pot is heavy and tall with a small neck and the water is shallow. Then the crow figures it out, and plops pebbles into the pot until the water rises high enough to drink from. It sounds simple enough, yet Archimedes discovering the same principle was so amazed by it that he jumped out from his bathtub and ran into the streets shouting "Eureka!", all the while still naked.
