After blogging about my experiences earlier this week, I had crows on the brain. So, as I went drifting through fractal sets, trying to come up with something for this week’s Friday Fractal (now a Saturday Set), I kept running across crow-like shapes.
New Caledonian crows (Corvus moneduloides) have remarkable tool-using abilities that are at least as sophisticated as those of chimpanzees, if not more so.
They are amazing birds. Those vids are awesome though, especially the method for cracking nuts.
It's no wonder my tribe is named after them, we love them!
O, I'm Native American by the way. :D

Wowzers! Yep, pretty amazing all right! I live in the country and get to hear groups of crows "talking" to each other sometimes. It always does seem that they are actually communicating.
