Known for his ability to use tools New Caledonian Crowfamily corvids one of the smartest has been accepted. So folks primates Crows are to birds what crows are to birds. This species has such skills that humans can only learn some of these skills when you turn 7 They can.

Ability to solve complex problemssuch as being able to recognize and remember human faces and understand whether the image they see in the mirror is theirs or not. with human behavior New Caledonian crows are intriguing to researchers. Let’s take a look at the amazing abilities and intelligence of these crows.

Although we think that mammalian intelligence is more advanced than that of other species, crows officially challenge this knowledge and amaze us with their abilities.

Known for using tools Many experiments are being conducted with New Caledonian crows. You will not believe the results of these experiments, because as a result of the experiments, the brains of crows are created As developed as the brain of a 7 year old child It turns out to be so.

This means that some people live up to the age of 7 crow species specific skills They can’t have it. So what are the skills that make these crows so special?

In the experiments, crows are given some puzzles. It’s hard to believe, but New Caledonian crows are the only species other than primates that can solve these puzzles.

In previous experiments, crows For cracking the shell of shelled foods such as hazelnuts They have even been seen leaving food on the streets and taking the nuts back after the shell is broken.

The last “rod-tubepuzzle, the New Caledonian crow solves complex structures is seen. by experiment food placed in the center of a long tube It is expected to be picked up by crows. But how?

Researchers around the tube sticks of different lengths This is where the intelligence of the New Caledonian crow comes into play. Crow, what length rod He can predict that he can take the food from the tube.

We all know another experiment similar to this one. Being able to reach food in a bowl full of water!

Crows Can distinguish sinking objects and throwing objects into the water raising the water level They reach the food. However, these crows not only use tools, but also multi-part tools They can do it too.

For example, by sticking very short sticks together make it into a long stick They understand that it will make access to food easier. These remind us how much of nature mysterious that there is a place and that animals actually have a certain place level of intelligence Makes you believe you have it.

Planning is one of the cognitive skills of humans. But do you know what New Caledonian crows do to solve problems? Our answer is planning.

At first one might think that birds could not have this level of intelligence. The reason for this is the idea that their brains are small. However, recent studies have shown that it’s not so much about the size of an animal’s brain brain-body relationship This has been proven to be true. Crows are smaller compared to their body proportions. have big brains tends to happen.

Except for the brain ratio number of neurons It is also effective at the level of intelligence. Crows have spots that can produce dense clusters of neurons. This proves the intelligence that crows have.

Nature harbors all kinds of wonders in its unknown. More importantly, intelligence or cognitive skills Although it is thought to be unique to humans Nature shows us the opposite every day.
