Heavens, no! I see too many crows sitting on the highway eating carrion. I'd as soon eat a buzzard. Other than that, I am amazed at their level of intelligence. I have seen them do things that are just staggering. I was once working on a center pivot irrigation system and watched one light within .22 magnum range of me and my pickup, a lone crow in a tall snag. He watched me carefully as I worked, cawing occasionally with just one "caw". When I climbed down I walked over to my pickup and slowly reached in the back and picked up a shovel, then held it up over my head so he could see it clearly. I then pretended it was a rifle, put the blade to my shoulder and aimed the handle at the crow. He just sat and looked at me, giving another single "caw". I slowly laid it in the back of the truck, opened the door, reached in and got my .22 Magnum. I slowly held it up over my head for the crow to see, at which time he lit out in the other direction just as fast as if a shot had been fired at him. I knew then that a crow could learn the difference in a shovel and a gun.

If anyone doubts that the crow knew the difference, and just got ready to leave anyway, watch this.
