Behavior and intelligence
Crows are highly intelligent birds known for problem solving, tool use, and social behavior. Studies have shown that crows create and use tools, recognize and remember individual human faces, and share information with other crows about potential threats. Crows also live in social groups and communicate with one another using a variety of vocalizations.
