  2. Not many agree but I think their rather beautiful.

    Have you seen the recent footage of members of the crow family solving puzzles, including the Aesop fable 'stones in a jar of water'?

  4. Hi silverpebble.

    Thanks for the interesting link. It is amazing really that they can do that. I suppose we underestimate a lot of the animal and bird kingdoms. Not the easiest of birds to photograph and do them justice.
