By itself, however fascinating, this video isn't meaningful. We need a context to interpret it. Even an adult human wouldn't be able to bend a tool at first go. First , there would be trial and error - to test both of the bending implement and how much angle had to achieved (so it could pick up the object sought and also still fit through the opening)..
For that matter, what’s its motive? When did the crow learn the bucket is somehow desirable?
@13realitytest13 as other videos here on youtube have shown, crows can assess a problem visually, imagine a tool needed to solve the problem, then find the materials needed to fashion the tool all on their own. To quote from another video "researchers were amazed to see some crows accomplishing this on the first try without any trial and error."
It should be noted, however that the crows being studied may have also been building upon less complex puzzles used earlier in the experiments.
Crows are some of the most intelligent birds in the world. If they need to solve a problem like this, they simply just watch it until they found out the solution inside their heads. I think they are amazing :)
@LightSpirit24 There are lots of documented experiments where crows (and other birds) have developed tools on their own with no prior training. There are even birds that learn how traffic lights work, dropping nuts on the road during traffic to crack them open, and waiting for a red light to collect them.
fucking smart!

When it's hungry and there's food in it.
Try this with any animal other than a primate, and you wouldn't get too far.
This animal however, doesn't skip a beat.

Oh my god. It actually MADE a tool, it didn't just use the wire as it found it!

I heard the bird comes up with the solution itself and is not taught to do it by anyone else. amazing :)

This is neat, but had the crow seen it done before? how did he learn to make a hook?

I assume that the birds that demostrate this have to figure out themselves what to do, that is, it is not shown to them step by step.
