Gifts of Crows: How Perception, Emotion and Thought Allow Smart Birds to Behave Like Humans

New research finds that crows are among the brightest animals in the world. This illustrated talk explores and marvels at the birds’ behavior: they play, take risks, reward people who help (or feed) them, use cars as nutcrackers, seek revenge on harassing animals, and dream—all things we humans might find strangely familiar. With John Marzluff, Professor of Wildlife Science at the University of Washington.
