You mentioned the crows throwing nuts in front of cars to open them. I have seen a fun variation on this. When I was a royal guard, and walking guarding outside a particular castle, the crows had noticed that we walked very particular routes, so particular that you can actually see the routes as the stones are more worn there. We had steel under our boots to make sound, and they would throw their nuts on my route, using me as they do cars to open their nuts.
That is hilarious. I wonder if the crows also recognized the different guards and figured out "Oh that's John, we have to put the nut here because his stride length is shorter than Michael's."
My dad ended up getting trained by the neighborhood crows to do tricks for them... One day he noticed the crows throwing walnuts to the ground, clearly trying to break them but without much success, so he picked up the walnuts, stomped on them until they broke, and put them on the sidewalk for the crows. He did that a few more times on separate occasions, and the next thing he knew, the crows were waiting for him just to drop walnuts straight under his feet when he was passing by. They'd call him to get his attention if he didn't notice them. They trained him very well indeed... :)
Dude a crow bending the tip of metal to pull out the bucket and then retrieving the same bucket to complete the next puzzle is just mind bending to me!!
The coolest part imo is when the crow tries to take shortcuts to solve the problems faster. Really shows they understand the end goal and aren't just repeating actions mindlessly.
Hey, what are the three things humans always used their intelligence for ? Playing around, and being lazy, which directly leads to the third - cheating ! ^^ Nothing else is more efficient ; D
At 15:20 when she brings the wooden ball over to the scale, I think rather than thinking the ball is heavier than the coins, she almost immediately (and correctly, excepting a few puzzles) understands that things from the previous puzzles are important for the next. She might have thought the wooden ball was required to solve the scale.
@@rishikeshvajjla4996 Yes, but what I said was instead of the ball being heavier than the coins (it's clearly not), she thought the ball was required to solve the scale problem.
I wasn't actually surprised that she could complete any of the puzzles individually - they're all things crows are known to be able to do - but I was blown away by her ability to understand (immediately?) that she was completing a series of puzzles, that she should follow the lights, and that the puzzles were linked together.
That really amazed me ... Seeing her try different approaches, even when they didn't work, was fascinating. Mark definitely needs to get a scarecrow to defend his nugs though! 😅
(also really shocked she didn't just continue to aggro the cage- like you said, she realized quickly that she was participating in a challenge to win the nugs!)
What was really cool to me was that she did all those puzzles (except the tourist snack) for fun and satisfaction alone. There were no rewards for each solved puzzle, just a room full of the smell of possible future nuggets. Yay, Cheryl! 🪶
I’ve bleached and dyed my hair multiple times over the last couple years that I’ve been feeding my crow couple friends, and they always recognize me no matter what I’m wearing or what my hair color/style is. They are so clever and cute, I love them so much

I got goosebumps this was such a cool video! I have been cultivating my girlfriend relationship with my neighborhood crows now for the last 3 years. They leave me presents, they come by all the time to say hello, and follow me on my walks. One of my neighbors lovingly called me birdman yesterday, and I couldn't help but smile. Thank you for this Mr rober.
I absolutely LOVE crows! Also they are highly social creatures. I truly believe that the crow remembered Mark's portrait as a fairly recent addition to her home. I think she put 2 and 2 together and realized that Mark had something to do with her experience. I think she was trying to say that she had a fun time :)
Same! I love crows and Corvids in general! 1. They’re cute 2. They’re silly 3. They’re really smart 4. If you give them gifts, they might start to give you trinkets!
Other crows are known for regularly bringing gifts to their human friends. Mine have only brought me a (very beautiful) piece of metal once (I have no idea what that is).
Mark Rober thank you so much for giving crunch lab kits to the petoskey middle school! My brother had so much fun helping out the 6th graders! Even if you don’t come across this comment it’s ok. I just wanted to tell you thank you! My brother was so happy! Bye! -Lila
I rarely get my mind blown, but this truly was one of those times. Cheryl bending the hook was mind blowing and her giving you a nugget was even more insane. Because that demonstrated her ability to feel emotions, feel gratitude and know when someone helped her... insane
Or she was curious what would happen if she brought the nugget to the pictures. Usually she gets a treat from pictures of him. Who knows for sure what or if she was trying to communicate
Totally incorrect, but nice try, human. Crows equate gifts with food. Leave a gift and maybe food will appear. Reinforce by repetition. Gifts can be anything, but Corvids value shiny objects because they stand out from the background, hence drawing attention more efficiently. They will also use other objects they have seen food providers handle often - paper money, coins, lipsticks, jewelry, whatever they observe that appears to have value to a food provider. They also have extremely strong pattern recognition skills, so any human who does the same action or does something at the same time of day equates to a potentially useful tool. How do I know all the previous? Logical deduction skills. 😉
The lighting, the mood, the cinematography, the music, the story, the engineering. Everything comes together in the loveliest video on this channel , ever. Thank you, Mark and team.
60 million subscribers and Mark still manages to fill me with a feeling a hope. If he is faking his niceness, he deserves an Oscar. I believe he is genuinely that kind, despite his fortune and fame. Bravo Mr. Rober.

I live in northern canada, and some of our street lights used to be on uv sensors that would turn on the street lamp at dusk as the daylight faded. The lamps must have had metal halide or sodium bulbs in them producing heat. Not only would the Ravens sit on the lamps at night to keep warm, they would also sit on them and fold their wings down over the sensor to turn the bulbs on during the daylight hours....
the crow has been trained to do the specific steps necessary to solve the room (evident in the training at the start).Still impressive, but a bit deceptive imo
@@DebshankarPathak-hb8tf but at the same time im not disagreeing with you, this is amazingly impressive and i had no idea a crow could do anything like this
Mark you have inspired me ever since I was little to become an engineer, and recentyl I have gol into college as a mechanical engineering major, thank you mark
The kids have a definite advantage, they know and are told, they are supposed to do the puzzles but the crow is just brought in and needs to figure out that there is puzzles and a reward.
That's not true. Most of the puzzles were things the crow was trained to do for a reward. I would argue the crow had the advantage of having literally seen some of these puzzles before. The kids basically had to figure out what Mark Rober expects a bird to do.
Crows are awesome. Sadly my crow friend/neighbour I think has passed away recently, I haven't heard them since a nasty storm. I would always say hello, and always my crow friend would caw at me, sometimes we exchanged things, like food/shiny objects. The magpies are still doing well though.. and they are just as smart i think.
I hope to improve the relationship / mutual understanding with my long-term crow friend up to the point where they understand that they can stay on my balcony or even inside in terrible wheather.
Amazing. There are some wild ravens at work. I have trained them to knock on the door and I bring them a cookie. Or maybe they have me trained, not quite sure.
I don't live in the US, but I love to seeing your videos, and your are one of my FAVORITE youtubers so, I wish the best for your chanell, and for your all life. Thanks for all
4:39 I've heard of that experiment being done before, apparently, a crow that was in the experiment decided to do probably the smartest and simplest thing in that situation, tip the beaker over.
Such an amazing video! Crows are so smart and thoughtful-they even wait for their friends to eat before digging in themselves. That moment at the end when the crow shared her food with her human friend was so sweet and emotional. It’s awesome to see such a unique bond 💌
It's incredible to see how crows can connect *CAWS* and effect to solve problems relating to a bigger picture She didn't even have incentive after most of the puzzles, but she continued doing them as if she knew there was something more to gain
They love to use their capabilities. I once read that a Swedish(?) scientist had five hand-reared crows. But he did experiments with six crows. Because a wild crow watched them and volunteered to participate...
Utterly amazing, I did not really expect the crow to finish a single one of these puzzles, let alone all! Plus sharing a piece of the reward means it's got some basic economic system in mind. Wow!
Hey mark rober i go to school with ur son, some of my friends have met u but I haven’t. Ur son is very nice and I always see him walking around with a smile.
The crow sees you as friend and realizes you are the one who gave her gifts. So she in turn returned the favor. Crows have been known to give gifts. They are very intelligent and aware creatures 😁
I haven't even watched the full video jet but I'm so excited for this! Crows are so smart, and the stuff I've seen online didn't really that challenging or just reuploads, so seeing something fresh really gets me excited about crows again!
Wow! The crow gave Mark Rober the answer to his original puzzle of how to get the other crows to stop thieving his nugs from his front door - sacrifice some nugs as an offering!
2.29 Crows playing piano keyboard: Pretty impressive the crows could play a melody spanning three different notes while only hitting one key each. And the crow at the low end of the keyboard was able to play higher notes than the one in the middle of the keyboard.
What I love most of this video is how Mark not only designed all the clever tests, but went all the way to engineer automatic detections for each one, when he could just turn on the lights for the next test manually.
lol thats what I was thinking, he couldve just triggered everything manually 😅 but Im guessing this probably took the crow a very long time to do and they may not have been watching the entire time
Hey Mark Rober! I’m in 6th grade and me and 20 other students have been tasked with trying to make a cannon like weapon to help a wheelchair kid at my school who has always wanted to, play dodgeball, can you give me some ideas to make for him? Anything will be greatly appreciated and needed ( we need this done by May)
People like you, Mark, people who inspire the next generation to get into STEM fields, are some of the most valuable human beings on this planet. Much respect to you.
14:30 Mark drags Cheryl for making a mistake, but praised the kids for trying interesting things - she was eliminating potential options and not afraid to fail, just like the kids ❤
Well no- Cheryl put the stone into the corks and the empty beaker That’s different from trying to raise the water level with different methods and obbjects
Crows are awesome. I remember when I went to elementary school, in the morning when I walked to school there were often crows around. I always thought they are trying to communicate with me with their caws.
Wow, the crow is smart and bending the hook was mindblowing. But also the set design and lighting is phantastic! Great production and touching moments at the end. Thanks for this masterpiece!
I do not think I have watched a video like this in a long time, where I have been interested from the start, to end. Feeled with curiosity, that could a Crow really do all these puzzles? Amazed at every second of this crows screen time, pulled everything off. Amazing video.
Mark, time to make a special box your food and drink deliveries can be safely placed in to protect from crows, squirrels and people (who are all ‘porch pirates’). As always, we enjoy your videos. Cheryl is amazing. Go crows! 🐦⬛
This is crazy impressive. Doing any puzzle on t's own is one thing, but the fact that the crow goes through every puzzle one by one without getting any rewards is a bit mind-blowing. Other than a light coming on, there is no incentive for her to move on to the next location or solve any puzzle.
I almost never comment on anything. OMG! This is the most heartwarming video I've ever seen!! Thank you so much, Mark! This makes me so hopeful for the future of our planet. Keep up the great work! Tears of happiness!
Mark, you never cease to amaze! Watching Cheryl tackle those puzzles was both entertaining and enlightening. It's fascinating how crows, often seen as bad omens, can display such incredible intelligence. Cheryl’s cleverness is a perfect reminder that nature has its own surprises! Kudos for showcasing her skills and turning the narrative around on crows!

Not only would the Ravens sit on the lamps at night to keep warm, they would also sit on them and fold their wings down over the sensor to turn the bulbs on during the daylight hours....
i fell in love with her from the moment i saw her. But when she shared her winnings with you my heart was 100% won.
This made me cry, crows are so cute, I always smile when I hear them, thank you for making this video
2:30 Oh hey it’s my babies!! 🥰 I have tended 7 crows for 7 years, they come to my house for music multiple times a day. They are so cool!
That is awesome!
THATS SO COOL!
I don’t know your beliefs, but in a lot of cultures 7 is a very lucky number! 2 7s is especially lucky. ❤
for music? wow!
Woah crows appreciate the arts!
My mind is blown. How is everyone's jaw not on the floor watching this video. This bird is amazing. I have friends who couldn't solve this room
my jaw descended 3 floors at this point. Mye yes are on the way to the moon!
the crow has been trained to do the specific steps necessary to solve the room (evident in the training at the start).Still impressive, but a bit deceptive imo
@@AlanZou I mean c'mon , you can let that pass.
@@DebshankarPathak-hb8tf but at the same time im not disagreeing with you, this is amazingly impressive and i had no idea a crow could do anything like this
@@AlanZou I think you missed the point where all the puzzles were based off things that WILD crows also do?
you are incredible! a kiss from Brazil 😍
Mark you have inspired me ever since I was little to become an engineer, and recentyl I have gol into college as a mechanical engineering major, thank you mark

ME TOO!!!
The kids have a definite advantage, they know and are told, they are supposed to do the puzzles but the crow is just brought in and needs to figure out that there is puzzles and a reward.
That's not true. Most of the puzzles were things the crow was trained to do for a reward. I would argue the crow had the advantage of having literally seen some of these puzzles before. The kids basically had to figure out what Mark Rober expects a bird to do.
@@offbranddorito9668 aight bro, let the crow have this one
Also huge benefit from editing. I'm sure the raw footage is a lot more boring.
Crows are awesome. Sadly my crow friend/neighbour I think has passed away recently, I haven't heard them since a nasty storm. I would always say hello, and always my crow friend would caw at me, sometimes we exchanged things, like food/shiny objects. The magpies are still doing well though.. and they are just as smart i think.
Magpies are supposedly even smarter, but they are both from the corvid family.
I hope to improve the relationship / mutual understanding with my long-term crow friend up to the point where they understand that they can stay on my balcony or even inside in terrible wheather.
Cheryl's persistence and patience was incredible to see, and her offering of a gift to your portrait was so clever and touching.😄
Amazing. There are some wild ravens at work. I have trained them to knock on the door and I bring them a cookie. Or maybe they have me trained, not quite sure.
😂😂❤
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I feel it’s likely the latter… 😅
10 years later breaking news crows just became smarter than humans now we needto worship our crow overlords
Is this the new backyard squirrel obstacle course? Awesome!
Maybe we should have a Squirrels Vs Crows episode one day!
Squirrel VS octopus VS crow battle of the wits
squirrels vs racoons
Yeaahh
@@Greenpopin. Recall that Mark failed to outsmart a tracking dog too.
Squirrel vs. Octopus vs. Crow
I don't live in the US, but I love to seeing your videos, and your are one of my FAVORITE youtubers so, I wish the best for your chanell, and for your all life. Thanks for all
This is like the combination of the squirrel, porch pirates, and octopus video that no one knew we needed
Yeah, well, Phat Gus seems to get what she can while she can....
4:39 I've heard of that experiment being done before, apparently, a crow that was in the experiment decided to do probably the smartest and simplest thing in that situation, tip the beaker over.
Isn’t this one of the anciient Chinese proverbs or smthing
I think the beaker was attached to the wooden board
@@arksayhiits an aesops fable
@ k thank you for clarifying 👍
@@arksayhiOh yes, the Crow and the Pitcher!
Cheryl offering a nugget to Mark's picture at the end made me go from smiling in admiration to tears trickling down my cheeks in awe :')
this might be the best video i've ever watched
Such an amazing video! Crows are so smart and thoughtful-they even wait for their friends to eat before digging in themselves. That moment at the end when the crow shared her food with her human friend was so sweet and emotional. It’s awesome to see such a unique bond 💌
As an aspiring ornothologist with a specific interest in crow this video was perfect for me. Thank you.
Thwy are so cool omg
same
@@CookieTube it's a pied crow dude magpies have a long tail and are usually smaller and at higher elevation
Same! They're my favorite animal
It's incredible to see how crows can connect *CAWS* and effect to solve problems relating to a bigger picture
She didn't even have incentive after most of the puzzles, but she continued doing them as if she knew there was something more to gain
I think it's because they're intelligent and curious; they want to find out what will happen if they interact with something 😊
I see what you did there 😂
They love to use their capabilities. I once read that a Swedish(?) scientist had five hand-reared crows. But he did experiments with six crows. Because a wild crow watched them and volunteered to participate...
Utterly amazing, I did not really expect the crow to finish a single one of these puzzles, let alone all! Plus sharing a piece of the reward means it's got some basic economic system in mind. Wow!
Hey mark rober i go to school with ur son, some of my friends have met u but I haven’t. Ur son is very nice and I always see him walking around with a smile.
This was all really impressive but watching the crow bend that piece of metal into a hook was amazing.
You should look up New Caledonian crows then. They actually make tools in the wild, with no training. They're the smartest birds in the world
I’ve been obsessed with these birds since watching the TED talk about crows and how intelligent they are. Amazing video Mark!
The crow sees you as friend and realizes you are the one who gave her gifts. So she in turn returned the favor. Crows have been known to give gifts. They are very intelligent and aware creatures 😁
Mark Rober: "I'm a genius inventor who can outsmart and track down criminals."
Crows and squirrels: "Yet, you can't outsmart us."
And an octopus😂
I have to wonder how much he holds back without saying he holds back.
I haven't even watched the full video jet but I'm so excited for this! Crows are so smart, and the stuff I've seen online didn't really that challenging or just reuploads, so seeing something fresh really gets me excited about crows again!
Wow! The crow gave Mark Rober the answer to his original puzzle of how to get the other crows to stop thieving his nugs from his front door - sacrifice some nugs as an offering!
He could just have the Doordash person use the cage to put his food in.
That, and get a food box for deliveries, haha. Just a simple wooden box with a latch will do (one strong enough for the crows not to open of course).
@@Smutter86 until they figure out how to use levers to open them anyway...
2.29 Crows playing piano keyboard: Pretty impressive the crows could play a melody spanning three different notes while only hitting one key each. And the crow at the low end of the keyboard was able to play higher notes than the one in the middle of the keyboard.
What I love most of this video is how Mark not only designed all the clever tests, but went all the way to engineer automatic detections for each one, when he could just turn on the lights for the next test manually.
Like he had to for the first one😂
lol thats what I was thinking, he couldve just triggered everything manually 😅 but Im guessing this probably took the crow a very long time to do and they may not have been watching the entire time
10:38 "Think like a crow." 👏 Amazing use of psychology ! 👍
I'd love to know the total time for the crow solving the puzzles, versus the total time for the children.? Amazing video, btw!
Hey Mark Rober! I’m in 6th grade and me and 20 other students have been tasked with trying to make a cannon like weapon to help a wheelchair kid at my school who has always wanted to, play dodgeball, can you give me some ideas to make for him? Anything will be greatly appreciated and needed ( we need this done by May)
People like you, Mark, people who inspire the next generation to get into STEM fields, are some of the most valuable human beings on this planet. Much respect to you.
20:41 I actually started crying... it's just amazing!
Me, too!
I think there is medication to help with that kind of emotional volatility

14:30 Mark drags Cheryl for making a mistake, but praised the kids for trying interesting things - she was eliminating potential options and not afraid to fail, just like the kids ❤
Well no-
Cheryl put the stone into the corks and the empty beaker
That’s different from trying to raise the water level with different methods and obbjects
@TheSkinStealer-p8m She's just looking for cheat codes.
Crows are awesome.
I remember when I went to elementary school, in the morning when I walked to school there were often crows around. I always thought they are trying to communicate with me with their caws.
Wow, the crow is smart and bending the hook was mindblowing.
But also the set design and lighting is phantastic! Great production and touching moments at the end. Thanks for this masterpiece!
I do not think I have watched a video like this in a long time, where I have been interested from the start, to end. Feeled with curiosity, that could a Crow really do all these puzzles? Amazed at every second of this crows screen time, pulled everything off. Amazing video.
The fact that the only assistance that bird had were the lights turning on leading her to each puzzle is actually insane😂
i feel bad for any ONE or any THING that minorly inconveniences Mark Rober
We got progamerdude commenting on a mark rober video before gta 6 😭
Lmaoooo
who is this guy
The chances pro comments on a mark rorber vid lol
Ayo Pro? Small world!
Mark, time to make a special box your food and drink deliveries can be safely placed in to protect from crows, squirrels and people (who are all ‘porch pirates’). As always, we enjoy your videos. Cheryl is amazing. Go crows! 🐦⬛
This is crazy impressive. Doing any puzzle on t's own is one thing, but the fact that the crow goes through every puzzle one by one without getting any rewards is a bit mind-blowing. Other than a light coming on, there is no incentive for her to move on to the next location or solve any puzzle.
And that was a single crow (compared to several children). Imagine what a group pf captive (and trained) crows would be capable of...
I almost never comment on anything. OMG! This is the most heartwarming video I've ever seen!! Thank you so much, Mark! This makes me so hopeful for the future of our planet. Keep up the great work! Tears of happiness!
The whole time she was doing the puzzles was so cute, but when she gave your picture a nugget was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
A Big Like! 👍
Hello from Naples, Florida. Awesome! That was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing with us, have a great week 👍 💯 ❤
The end of the crow arc was so heartwarming, she's so precious. I love the avian genius
I like Mark's arc of birdwatching and trying to protect the bird food from squirrels, to loving squirrels and now trying to fight off birds.
11:43 "we're not birds of prey"... actually, neither are crows. They're _carrion_ feeders (and very opportunistic with humans).
🤓 umm actually

Ah, so they feed off smarts, trickery, and gaslighting to get resources and not blunt force? Ahh!

Crows and ravens are my favorite birds. They are so smart.
Респект
Mark, you never cease to amaze! Watching Cheryl tackle those puzzles was both entertaining and enlightening. It's fascinating how crows, often seen as bad omens, can display such incredible intelligence. Cheryl’s cleverness is a perfect reminder that nature has its own surprises! Kudos for showcasing her skills and turning the narrative around on crows!
Pretty sure it's "Sheryl". Lol. 😂
People don't like smart alecks telling them the obvious bad things that's about to happen. :P
That tribute at the end was so freaking heartwarming, crows are very freaking smart
