It probably doesn't come as a surprise that crows are my favourite animal, given that I picked one to represent my channel. There are lots of reasons to love crows.
For one, they're amazingly smart. Some sources compare their intelligence to that of a seven-year-old child... which is maybe not that helpful a comparison!
But certainly they've been seen using tools, and their ability to solve relatively complex problems is well-documented. They even remember human faces. While nobody knows for sure why crow "funerals" happen, it's not a stretch to think that they could be either grieving or learning.

It's on the list - bridge collapses are always complex and interesting

I think I've seen this exact video. It's amazing - they really do seem to be able to enjoy things just like humans might
Another wry well done short! They are fascinating aren’t they! I saw a video of two crows who had created a game, using some scrap of plastic (or similar), climbing aboard, and then sliding down the roof of a house repeatedly!

How about a video on the 1967 Silver Bridge collapse?
