Young wild crows finally solve spinner puzzle

- Laurel and Hardy here have had several tries with this puzzle and finally found a repeatable solution. They worked on this puzzle for 20 minutes in this session. The solution they landed on is physically awkward, but once they landed on it, they stuck with it. I'm experimenting with a way to make it more comfortable to reach & spin.

I love how skittish and jumpy they are about EVERYTHING they encounter, even when you can see that they know it's an inanimate object, they don't take any chances and stay wary around them as if they were living things that could attack them...like toy puzzles or containers they know have food in them.
And I love the strut n think they do trying to figure something out. Like "no, that's not it, let me walk around and think about it for a minute...oh what if I did it like this! No that didn't work, walk around and think about it a little more"
It's so funny, it's like you can see the little gears turning in their heads.
💯
I recently learned the term “neophobia” - fear of new things
Crows have the perfect blend of caution, curiosity and intelligence.
They have every reason to be skeptical. Humans have not always been the kindest to them.
@@wendi-bnkywuv in my area, thankfully, they are much beloved and there are probably 3 people feeding them per block
I always hear about how crows are so smart, but I had one do my taxes last year and he missed a lot of deductions. 😊
Ha! That’s good :)
I take it the term "crow" has a certain meaning (related to filing your taxes?).......can you educate me on that?
@@machonsote918 I think OP is just being silly :)
@@machonsote918 Yes, it was a joke. Crows don't really do taxes. I mean, I asked but he cawed at me and flew away. That's why I didn't get my taxes in this year. 😉
@@Statsy10 : Mmmmmm...........I guess it's "funny"...................
To stay at it this long the crows must have had a ravenous appetite.
I think they are also curious.
A slot machine for crows. Big win!!!
surprised they didn't try to cooperate or topple the thing over. Like, they seemed to understand how it works, more of a dexterity problem
Yeah, this puzzle was really too tall for them. I’m hoping to continue to use it, but I’m gonna have to make some modifications.
I’ve never actually seen them collaborate in that way. I have a lot of visibility into their broadly community here and they clearly coordinate all day long. For example they regularly team up to chase eagles away. But when it comes to individual projects like this, especially when related to food, it seems like at least on the face of it, it’s about who gets to it first
@@Crows_are_skycats Don't put so much food in it. When the tubes are lighter, crows will find it easier to spin them.
@@Welgeldiguniekalias I’ve got a plan to anchor it at an angle so it’s lower.
@@Crows_are_skycats Why don't you try putting half a much food in the tube. It's an easy solution that can be tested without special preparation or equipment. If it doesn't work, you can always try more complicated fixes.
@@Crows_are_skycats Don´t listen to them, let the crows have their challenge. They got it in the end, didn´t they?
I buy interactive feeders for my ravens too. Hubby figures them out pretty quickly but Wifey always takes a while to learn. He struts around like he is so smart and superior!
Would love to see some links for what you use

You are talking about the crows, right?
@@StepDub ravens, yes

@@jkoblivion4175 nice
I love how curious they are!
One crow to another: " look at Einstein over there showing off"

Well done crows!
Great video! It's shown up on my main page a few times and I'm so glad I finally watched it. Crows are so smart, I love watching them interact. The one with the plastic flowerpot - "Hey, can we use this?"
I guess the RUclips algorithm must have picked it up! Traffic seems to be spiking for it. It’s funny because it’s been up over a year
1:51 rolls in a pot to help them on their research, gets distracted playing with it
2:12 one scientist reaches a breakthrough, only to have the fruit of its labor snatched immediately
Absolutely love this. Such clever birds ❤️
In love with the landing noise
Thud!
@@Crows_are_skycats _thuk_
That was a hard landing right at the beginning
“will you move? I’m getting this”
I really thought the one bringing the flower pot was gonna try something crazy, still, the fact that they figured out that those containers need to tilt a little more to drop the food and kept repeating it.
these crows are at the top of their class!
Practice makes perfect
I wonder if we’ll later regret uplifting the corvids with these enrichment puzzles.
This reminds me of Wiebeltje, a kitten that played with this puzzle. They call it the turn around. There is a twist in this video, that made you never forget Wiebeltje
Mądre Ptaszyska 😂😂😂❤
Crowfessors❤
There's always that guy that brings extra unnecessary tools.
No Frank, we're not gonna need your flowerpot today.
AI wishes it was this smart
I like to think they’re just talking to each other: “Hey come help us out. Human got the food stuck in this contraption thing again and we can’t figure it out!”
Also them bickering with each other like “No, you’re not doing it right! Get out of the way!”
Excellent footage!
Nice! It's fascinating how patiently the one crow would just walk around and look at the puzzle from all angles. Was that the one that eventually figured it out?
Sadly I can’t tell them apart but I think it was the bossy one who got it :). To me the other one looked like a little kid who desperately wants to try the toy big brother got for Christmas:)
@@Crows_are_skycats merry xmas
i feel like if i were a crow my solution to the puzzles would also be to wait for someone else to solve the puzzle and steal their seeds xD
are they good at puzzles or just obsessively persistent until it works 🤣
Are those things different?? :D
Those are the same thing. Genius is a myth
Channel name checks out
I know some humans couldn't work that out.
Love crows
I would never have figured it out - given size proportions

Meanwhile, you haven’t solved the puzzle of growing healthy potted plants.
@@ocayaro hah! Nice. It was winter, the vine was just dormant :)
Good scenario was presented.

Crows are more zany :)
@@Crows_are_skycats either way blackbirds are severely underrated
If you truely respect an animal leave it be, they are not meant to be pets neither can they be happy. 🙏🏻
We're doomed.
Hahahahaha 👏
One is supposed to get on the stool and hold the food container upside down.
Just found your channel! Delightful video. 🖤 I tried a similar puzzle feeder with my local crows, but the cylinders were much larger, and they were just too scared of it. Probably sensible on their part, to be honest. Which species of crow do we have here? Coincidentally, I call my local blue jays "sky kitties". I'm going to start calling fish crows "sky raccoons" now that I've learned they have a sort of facial "mask". Still need a feline nickname for the American crows.
Success!!
Ain't got them yet lol
Nevjerojatne ptice 🖤
on average how many years is a crow generation? they're like the best candidate for human guided evolution to make them as intelligent as us, if they don't take too long to produce the next generation
@@portlandthorns9929 they have 1-2 fledgelings a year. This vid is from two years ago, so these little guys are now pros at all kinds of puzzles and are currently raising the latest generation of babies who they’ll train. :) we have a crow pair who have been visiting us for maybe four years
Did you make this device or where can someone get one?
I think it’s called a feeder spinner.they’re toys for cats! Look up slow feeders for cats on Amazon. However I don’t recommend this particular toy because it is too tall for them. They kind of have to strain themselves to get to it which is probably not very pleasant for them. If you use one you should probably get one for a kitten size or create some thing of appropriate height for them to stand on. On my RUclips channel there are other videos of crows playing with toys. They are also puzzle feeders but are made for dogs. There are many fantastic ones and the crows love them. Search for Outward Hound. Our crows have solved most of them on the first try
Four crows named Laurel and Hardy?
They think all the time: fooooolllllllllllll
smarter than my sister
💓 😊
What is the name for the smartest one in the end? Just curious, thank you!! I subbed too! ❤
We can’t really name them because we can’t tell them apart :(
We know they’re siblings and see them together but we can’t really tell which is which
So, you did this at the airport?
I tried to get my crows to learn to use sticks to get at food, but they figured out easier ways to do it !
They had no problem learning “the string task” (where they have to pull up food on a long string in multiple steps)

@@TheCorvidaelyReport that’s a really cool video. I can’t quite follow what’s going on, can you point out a few key moments
1:27 curmudgeon!
Хитрули. Я видел, как ворон пытался схватить за хвост белку, а белка бегала он него кругами, но не сбегала.
Ahora son +1 inteligencia. ¿Es esto correcto?
Ich hätte mehr erwartet.
❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
1 split to light blue 2 ran over the left tree and 3 is still spinning 🤣 and the fat pigeon is still making me sick
Scared of it.
Только черный ворон знает ответ
Why is everyone saying they are smart, that they figured it out. It was pure chance through one aggressive pull that it flipped over.
To PROVE they know HOW they did it, they would have to come back time and again to WILFULLY, INTENTIONALLY do it that way each first flip, and not by successive flips resulting in an accident ... which is what we saw here. Also, did crows #2 and 3 "learn the methodology" of crow#1. No.
@@thedolphin5428 check out the rest of my feed. I’ve got a dozen videos up of them solving puzzles. We give them puzzles every day on the deck and they have solved them so easily that those puzzles are basically just regular feeding dishes for them now. They’ve solved almost every puzzle on the first try. I actually think they solved this one pretty early too - it was just too tall for them to spin easily. I stopped using this puzzle for that reason.
@@Crows_are_skycats
Fine. I was only commenting on THIS video, as I saw it above.
@@thedolphin5428 sure that makes sense.
@@Crows_are_skycats
And btw, they are not "solving puzzles". That phrase is pure anthropomorphisation -- attributing human capabilities onto animals. They are simply learning by incessant, instinctive (to get some food), trial and error with after-memory. People THINK they are trying to work it out. They aren't. They are just being persistent in different ways until some accident works. Then they replicate the action. That too is instinct NOT intention or intelligence.
@@thedolphin5428Geez just take the L already, childish contrarian.
A fair number of "animal solves puzzle" videos aren't actual reasoning, but the animal just getting the reward accidentally while trying to brute-force the problem. The first 2 minutes of this has that sort of thing. From 2:06 on, though, the crow is clearly trying to upend the seed container instead of peck at the seeds.
Yes - first try always seems to be “give it a good whack” - most birds never get past that though
