Be A Bird Brain
Just watch. It is a little over ten minutes and fun. Basic premise: some birds you many not like may be rather smart.

Deven,
That was wonderful!
Do you recall this inaugural post at CO by Frank: http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/2006/10/pigeons_on_the.html ?
As I said back then in the comments: "If pigeons are smart, like crows, they'll get their own website, and then there'll be no stopping them." Cf. http://www.crows.net/ This is a delightful website that provides further and compelling evidence of the intelligence of crows.

For no particular reason, I'd been thinking recently that there seem to be more crows around than in the past, and had wondered if it was just an artifact of my paying attention. So I was interested to learn that there really has been a crow population explosion. I wonder if boomer crows will fundamentally alter crow culture and become targets of animosity by older and younger generations of crows.
