Corvids can decide if a future exchange is worth waiting for.

Differences in exploration behaviour in common ravens and carrion crows during development and across social context.

Rachael Miller, +7 more
- 12 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: Developal differences were present, with both species interacting most frequently with novel items as juveniles, which may relate to major developmental steps, such as dispersal and a neophobia increase as sub-adults.

New Caledonian Crows Use Mental Representations to Solve Metatool Problems

Romana Gruber, +8 more
- 18 Feb 2019 - 
TL;DR: Crows were able to mentally represent the sub-goals and goals of metatool problems: crows kept in mind the location and identities of out-of-sight tools and apparatuses while planning and performing a sequence of tool behaviors, providing the first conclusive evidence that birds can plan several moves ahead while using tools.
