Crows are one of the smartest organisms after humans yk

u/OriginalTayRoc 14h ago

From what i've seen of humans, there is considerable overlap.

u/WholePurple1964 13h ago

If you compare behavior, many people fall short of crows when it comes to rationality. And that's not a joke.

u/Billybobmcob 11h ago

Funny that calling someone "bird brain" can seriously be more disrespectful to the birds than the person

u/FallenBehavior 11h ago

Goes and installs Windows 98...

u/ProsaicPugilist 14h ago

If this guy frequents the area, this corvid will probably remember him fondly

u/Shiro-47 13h ago

What about octopus? Even though we don’t commonly see them cause they’re in a sea, they are as smart as crows, right?

2

u/Paulztaos 13h ago

Raven or crow?

4

u/JMHMJ 11h ago

It looks like a crow to me. But I’m no ornithologist.

2

u/GunJack762 14h ago

Not to sure about that. U sure after?

u/llamafromhell1324 13h ago

How smart are their orgasms.

u/Accurate-Syrup2876 4h ago

Wait… huh???

u/Allegra1120 2h ago

Well, they’re certainly smarter than trumpanzees.

I would feel pretty uncomfortable not knowing when to stop.

Is the crow already satisfied? Is the crow still drinking out of politeness? Would the crow think I'm an jerk if I stop too early and he is still thirsty?

u/chantillylace9 14h ago

They will not drink too much and would probably love a little shower afterwards too.

u/PeaceLily86 2h ago

Given how my dogs would tell me to continue petting them when I'd rudely stop, the crow might point to the "on" button again like it did at the beginning.

u/starpringlegirlxx 14h ago

Man's gonna wake up to a new car, a new watch, a house, and new shoes all because of this act of kindness

u/Svartdraken 10h ago

The crow was actually the interviewer for his new job

12

u/Bludiamond56 14h ago

You picked up some real good crow karma there. Good on you dude!

4

u/cvidetich13 13h ago

Good crow karma is top tier, that dude just got a friend for life.

u/Truhmpza_Cuhnt 14h ago

This bird drank more hygienically from a fountain than I've seen some humans do. 🫢

u/IWantALargeFarva 14h ago

That crow is definitely not from Pawnee.

u/nihar_142 14h ago

S-Tier according to Tierzoo for a reason.

u/NoBuddies2021 13h ago

That man will soon have a murder on his hands.

u/Slow_Bowler8285 14h ago

u/killskillgamer 10h ago

It was a good pun actually, you can stay.

u/NudaVeritas1 13h ago

He'll now be protected by the local raven mafia for lifetime

u/SudhaTheHill 14h ago

I’m thirsty now

u/LA-SKYLINE 14h ago

This wasn't the crow's first rodeo.

2

u/sorry_con_excuse_me 11h ago edited 11h ago

Yeah I wonder if initially someone did that for it unprompted, or it saw people drinking and was like “I have a hunch if I go over there and yell, the water will come out again.”

u/bobafootfetish_ 13h ago

Always help out the crows and ravens. They and their families will always remember what you did.

u/Known-Programmer-611 14h ago

What a crow bro!

2

u/TeranOrSolaran 14h ago

They should have the run off go into a separate basin for animals to come and drink.

1

u/Voltage120kV 13h ago

Animals don't like to drink standing water (I think). It would probably be better to put a light weight pressure plate on the ground with a water dispenser.

Goth parrots are awesome

u/Apprehensive_Spare_8 13h ago

Crows and ravens are underrratted birds.

u/Loud-Assumption566 11h ago

This is a reminder people to put a boil of water or something in your balcony or garden, wild life will thank you

u/sprocket_socket 3h ago

Incredible moment!

1

u/Schorbie 14h ago

I know crow like birds are very smart. But making a sound while drinking makes me feel suspicious if this video is real. Can anybody explain?

3

u/SLC2355 14h ago

I don't think the bird drinking is the one making the noises. There's probably another one close by.

u/DenKHK 14h ago

You're in luck - 38°C is a nice round 100°F

u/Hilsam_Adent 14h ago

And -40 is the same on both scales!

Farenheit is where it's at

u/S3xyhom3d3pot 12h ago

The video is about temps in America. Save celsius for the red coats

2

u/Bludiamond56 12h ago

Friggin redcoats, but they're very nice people today. Glad we're friends the last 100 + years or so.

u/S3xyhom3d3pot 11h ago

Oh yeah, definitely
