Crows are Smart

There's a lot of evidence that crows are smart, and I'm not shedding light on anything nearly as cool as some of the things they do, but I still thought I'd share.

I have managed to open my 6th story office window.  Right next door is a fire escape, and crows like to hang out on it.  So I tossed some bread that was going to get thrown out on the fire escape.  A little later I poked my head through the window and scared off a crow that just had the courage to go for the food, and I watched as it flew off to a nearby parking structure.

It waited about 15 minutes, sitting with another crow at the parking structure.  Then it took off, but I couldn't follow exactly where to.  Then I heard crow sounds, so I slowly looked out my window.  There was a crow on the 5th floor fire escape landing, and another one hopping up the stairs to exactly where the bread was located.  It grabbed the bread and flew off.  Freaking genius bird!
