About the crow's mind and ingenuity
The fact that this bird is quite smart, scientists have concluded from observing its life. They noticed that if a crow decides to eat, for example, a walnut, then it is unlikely that it will be stopped by the fact that it cannot chew it. The crow never backs down from its desire. Where another bird would have already forgotten about the nut and went in search of more affordable food, the crow comes up with how to solve this problem. She can take off with a nut, holding it in her beak, and drop it from a height onto the asph alt, as a result of which the shell cracks, and the bird regales itself with the desired kernel.
And how many times observers have seen how crows put nuts under the wheels of cars or even put them on the rails. And then these birds patiently wait for the train to pass and break the strong shell. This is such a bird and such an introductory lesson about it for kids.
