There is also an older study from February with similar results:
Romana Gruber, Martina Schiestl, Markus Boeckle, Anna Frohnwieser, Rachael Miller: New Caledonian Crows Use Mental Representations to Solve Metatool Problems. In: Current Biology. February 2019, doi:10.1016/j.cub.2019.01.008
One of its highlights:
- Crows can preplan three behaviors into the future while using tools
Evolution is fascinating. I wonder if there's another possible outcome where these intelligent birds evolve into a species that is capable of using technology like we are today. Perhaps after mankind wipes itself out?
