Crows are very intelligent birds; they have shown the capability to create and use tools; they are able to make decisions guided by rules; and they appear to have an innate ability to understand what number's are. Recently, researchers were also able to discover that crows have demonstrated an intriguing capacity to understand recursion, a complex cognitive concept. Researchers have conducted experiments where crows were able to grasp the concept of nesting within nesting, showing that they comprehend hierarchical relationships within objects. In one study, crows were presented with a puzzle that required using a short stick to extract a longer stick, which, in turn, was used to retrieve an even longer stick. Astonishingly, the crows were quick to solve the problem, demonstrating their ability to grasp the recursive nature of the task. This fascinating insight into crow intelligence underscores the intricate cognitive abilities of these birds and their capacity for abstract thinking.
