Hi all,

This is not about parrots, but thought you'd like to hear it anyway.

Remember the Aesop's fable about the crow that dropped stones in the water glass to get a worm? The Los Angeles Times had an article last week about an experiment that was done to test the crow's intelligence. Sure enough the crow picked up stones in it's beak and dropped them in the glass to raise the level of the water. The bird gauged the water level and dropped in only enough stones to be able to reach the worm.

I know crows are not exactly favorites in the world of birds, but you gotta admit they're smart!
