[89rafa]

i hate that birds... i did hv nightmares when i was a child with this fking birds =X

[Mrmtjones]

did you see it poop?

[NYtassu]

Lol yeah XD

[vrylcky]

I got here under the same slip.. Tool to tool! lol oh well who knew you could rock out and find out birds are gaining on us at technical and evolutionary level.

[frazetta13]

Somehow I went from stinkfist...to this...

[s3th93]

hahahahhaha me too

[bonerotbonerot]

rofl same here!!!! haha

[JiveDadson]

I used to watch boat tailed grackles drop pecans from high in the air onto a concrete parking lot. They would then dive at free fall velocity to meet the nut at the bottom, before other grackles could get to it. I wonder if they learned that behavior after the advent of concrete. There aren't all that many big, flat rocks.

[0krufka0]

theres actually a movie on youtube showing crows dropping nuts on concrete. The problem is they not always break so the crows came up with something else - they drop them on a pedestrian crossing and wait for a car to run the nuts over. then wait for a green light to safely pick the contents...

[guitarbassndrums]

WTF, i was watching tool!!!!! not listening to a tool!!!

[bonerotbonerot]

hahahahahaha

[frankkumon]

...and here the crow is taking a New Caledonian poop...

[tonypata]

just think what they could do with a gun!

[blewmeanie]

my crow was the "researcher" who ran this experiment....ha!

[alifico]

so what are we going to do about it

[yyvonneP]

i want to a be a "researcher" if all you do is come up with wacky stuff like this day, and presumeably get paid for it too!!!

[HaniiPuppy]

no-wonder the poor bugger's a shy crow, humans keep attaching cameras to look at it's private parts!

[briach]

I wanna see from footage of this camera on a female homosapien specimen.

[johnnyk427]

Get an X10 camera then!! Remember when that shit was on every website? I think they funded the entire internet for about 3 years.

[hughlooks]

Yeah' I saw that too! :0

I thought she was saying crews. It's freak'n 'CROWS'!

[mopmop100]

lol, it takes a s**t it 0:22

[bonerotbonerot]

haha

[DrakeMonk]

my crow can program in java. :D

[drgenray]

my crow uses pc to date.

[zaindy87]

I don't know how they can tell what the crow is doing. The camera is so shaky.

[I0o]

This proves that brain size doesnt matter!

[wxnut]

this was on tv like YEARS ago. wtg jackball, yeahhh, alright...

[KurNorock]

I was hauling garbage to the dump last year and as I waited for my turn to pull up to the pile, I watched a raven steal a soda from the landfill workers ice chest and use an old spoon to pop the tab. Pretty amazing to see.

[FasterThanYou321]

$180,000,000 spent to see visual proof that a crow shits out his ass!

[127wardorstreet]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!, bloody hilarious, good one mate.

[nickchilli]

amazing it also shows us that crows take a crap in the wild also

[katiecountry123]

I live by the ocean where there is a lot of clamming. Often the crows and seagulls will try to drop the shell into the road so that the cars will run them over and the birds can get the meat out. Smarties.

[littlequeen64]

WOW........

[cgamer2]

this video is suprisingly cool.

[tonyfamous]

they probably have tons of video of that bird shitting. 5 stars.

[hyena1972]

i admire crows. they play with rocks, "meow" when dogs are around, lots of surprizing actions.

[ciberwarrior]

Just a matter of time, before they invent machine gun.

[jeffreycoy]

was it really necessary to show the crow taking a crap? lol

[aquamammal]

So next time someone busts out Descartes, you know they just theist.

All people who think eating animals is justified because they are less intelligent, go die.

[KSS5]

Okay I think this is fascinating and I am not trying to knock science in anyway but come up with a better subject for your next video because everyone know Birds Use Sticks!! In the wild...the do have to build nests so this shouldn't have been that surprising. And I know all birds don't use traditional nests...my last name is Starling...I know about Starlings..HOLLA!

[onjoFilms]

We must stop this nonsense! Astronomy Magazine says the sun will grow into a Giant Orange in 400 million years and consume the earth. The sequoias, the whales, the baby seals, us. We must make a spaceship to get off the planet NOW!

[pongman]

Now if you can get a crow to hold up a bank let me know? I could use one. lol

[nicholas9999]

wow, a crowcam! very cool clip and interesting research!

[mullertime22]

yea one time these crows sucked my dick!

[SSShino]

haha cool :D

[rezaletaq]

fucking crows..they attacked me once >:(

[wildshovel]

"fucking crows..they attacked me once >:("

I had one come at me with a spammer. That's not tool use -- that's abuse!

[theGhoulman]

It's surprising, scientists and naturalists are coming to realize that animals are far more intelligent than ever before. Bucking the 'humans are the only tool makers' and thus thinkers of the animal kingdom. There's another video on YouTube showing a crow making a hook to retrieve food from a small tube (this is in a lab). The scientists watching were amazed.

[Congest]

So what tool did the crow use? I couldn't make anything out.

[douglasmcgowan]

Was it necessary to start off with the crow pooping?

[No1RobLoweFan]

Crows r magic!

[dankman38]

Is this really surprising? Crows have been known to be exceptionally intelligent animals for a very long time. I

[metamaterial]

The trick is moving it from anecdote to evidence.

[Pozorrogo]

Who wants to look at hours of footage of a bird's ass?

Who really cares if these crows use tools?

[userdevicenull]

The crow poop'd. I giggled.

[flydarling]

Thought it was a wonderful idea, those mini cameras must have so many uses. Fascinating that they kept good tools. I presume they had a place in the nest they kept them in like a little tool shed so they were easy to find again. Cheers, Lesley

[TheRealSnedz]

Whats with the londoner doing an american accent?

[TheRealSnedz]

so fuck!!!

[Helliconia]

tbh though, all they needed to do was watch david attenbouroughs life of birds and they would have found the answer and saved themselves a lot of money.

[supercheetah]

Though Attenborough probably occasionally found crows using tools, he probably didn't find crows caching good tools.

These little cameras revealed a lot more than just crow tool use.

[andopolis]

I like looking at crows bums. Is that wrong?

[JohnDeBunkTest]

Very interesting.

New technology lets us learn some interesting things.

People are far more alike the rest of the animal kingdom than we suspected.

[transferosome]

I saw another vid about crow meta-tool use - using a tool to obtain another too. I'll see if I can find it.

[transferosome]

watch?v=4RpOGYYKdaQ

Better quality video as well :^P

[tmjewel]

interesting... kinda
