Russell's Crows 2/2 - Metatool use

[SheriffOfaloaf]

So they can tackle problems requiring meta-tool solutions, but don't recognize the functional differences in their own barbed or barb-less tools? That's odd. Do barb-less tools still manage to gather food, just less efficiently?

Personally I find animal cognition fascinating, and a person who still thinks that they are "stupid" after watching what they do is somewhat limited in the realm of human higher cognition.

Yes! It is know very probable that these birds have an even higher cognition than great apes. Another headline i just read proclaims " insects may have a higher degree of inteligence than other animals many times larger, and they may even have conciousness!
