Seagulls are actually pretty intelligent. They can learn on their past mistakes and share their knowledge with others. Basically, they present social learning which is a sign of greater intelligence in animals. They were also found to be able to solve puzzles on the same level as parrots and corvids. They are not as smart as crows or ravens though.
@@enfieldlammergeier yeah, like one thing seagulls will often learn to do is drop clams, mussels, or other similar animals from the sky onto rocks, because then they can access the actual meat. Their prevalence in coastal cities also shows that they adapt well to the relatively new condition of human dominance. They can’t hold a candle to a crow, though.
Not surprised, I watched this in parking lots constantly. Crows will pretend to be smaller in number than seagulls and send one of their “scouts” to distract and irritate them as they hide in a nearby tree. Then the scout will either pick up the gulls’ food when they are looking in the other direction or lets another scout swoop in from behind them.
I love how they are able to triangulate in groups. Recently I witnessed two crows scavenging a trash can that was protected by two human securities (public swimming pool) . Seemed like two other crows were on the look out and strategically positioned to overview the area around while the others emptied the trash searching for good stuff. Security came out of a building however and immediatly scared the two away. I think after that the scavanging crows complained to the lookout crow that they hadn't done their job right. ':D
best thing i heared about crows and ravens they tend to work in tandem with wolfs the bird scours the perimeter for any potential prey and if they see one they alarm the wolf or the pack to its location via sound after the wolfs ravaged the carcass the crows and ravens are left with a whole buffet which they wont be able to eat alone
I had a baby crow visit me a few days ago. Came into my garden.heard him squawk so I said hello which made him look. I lifted my arm and he just jumped on and walked up my arm and stood on my shoulder. Swapping between left and right should then flapping and Jumping on my head. Stayed in our garden for about 2 hours. And at 1 point was falling asleep on my lads lap. It really was a 1 in a million experience.
That little tail tug at the beginning and then the 'nothing' look after, distracting the seagull, was a brilliant bird move but failed as a tactic to actually get the food. Pretending to be disinterested combined with timing was the better strategy. Clever bird.
Maybe they weren't so smart and prepared on the ground but I have a feeling they snatched the food right back in the air. I watch seagulls every day doing that and I'm utterly impressed by their agility. I don't know about crows though. But a single one against a few gulls doesn't sound too good.
@@dan-nutu Bro, crows are always on that gang shit. Man was just patrolling the block and found sw ops... probably had like 200 killers waiting in the wings. They don't call 'em a "murder" for nothing.
I mean gulls and crows both do that both amongst themselves and to each other _all the fucking time_ - food is SRS FKN BZNS, yo, and both are perfectly willing to get down and dirty to get some. No big surprise they're each others' main rivals (alongside their own ilk) where both occur.
When I was in military, the area where served was full of walnut trees. The crows used to pick walnuts and fly very high and drop them on the asphalt to break them open. I was amazed. Crows are incredibly intelligent birds.
They learn how high they have to fly- too low and it won't crack, too high and it will explode all over the place. They learn where the goldie locks zone is. Also they often leave walnuts on roads so cars break them open for them.
Crows in certain areas will also leave nuts in crosswalks, and wait for cars to run them over. Then when the light turns red, they fly down to collect their prize while the cars are stopped
I left peanuts for crows in my back yard. At first they would congregate and eat the peanuts, blasting away the shell, then break up the peanuts, the gobble the pieces up. Now they think of me as an "In N' Out" restaurant. They grab one or two peanuts and fly off to neighbors' roof to eat the peanuts. I can only imagine how the residents felt hearing a noise they can't figure out where it is coming from.

Just looking at their body language, you could tell they are miles beyond in their intelligence. There's planning, seeking opportunity, and timing in their movements, whereas the seagulls just stand idly, reacting to any response
Most of the gulls being juveniles might of have something to do with it. They also don't seem to actually know what to *do* with that bit of damn hardtack; corvids are rather better at that kind of problem-solving. I've seen gulls spend like ten minutes trial-and-erroring some particularly inconvenient morsel - whereas crows just unceremoniously find something to wedge such bits in and then pick them to bits suitable for consumption. (I've seen them use everything from rock crevices and tram tracks to the windscreen wipers of parked cars for such purposes.) Gulls are smart, as omnivores are wont to be, and urban ones doubly so out of necessity given the extreme complexity and variety of the man-made environment; they just aren't _as_ smart as the corvids which alongside the parrots are the certified Einsteins of the bird world.
I found an injured crow and rescued it. It had a broken wing and scratches. I spent as much time with it as posible during his recovery. We became friends and trusted each other. I even learn to differentiate some of the noises it'll make. He would ask for food or be petted. We were together for 1 full year. It fully recovered but wouldn't leave my side anyways. One day I had to run some errands but I was feeling sick. I ask the crow to do those for me and gave him my credit card and social security number. HE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME. now I'm homeless.

I feed peanuts to my crows everyday. One morning as I was feeding them, they took off across the parking lot and scared a bear away. Even though I am just a food source; it feels good knowing they protected me.
I feed the crows daily also. One morning I heard loud noises down the block. It was a coyote and the crowd were letting everyone know about it. I got in my car and drove along with the crows together following for 3 blocks till they peeled off and I continued till I got construction.
Yesterday I saw similar situation. Seagull was trying get to the food inside of a very small plastic bag. Right nex to seagull there was a crow and at first tried to take the bag but was smaller than seagull and could not to. Crow waited then. Seagull was holding and tossing bag in try to get to food. When eventually food came out from bag, crow was ready to take it immediately before seagull drop bag to take food which just came out from a bag. It was funny to watch.

In all fairness even adult gulls aren't too good at problem-solving and hardtack isn't the easiest thing to eat without grasping appendages. These juveniles are pretty visibly flummoxed by it. Crows just find something to wedge such uncooperative morsels in so they stay in place and cheerfully peck them apart - I've seen them do that with frozen bits of bread and freaking car windshield wipers.
When I was young I was fishing, I had a bag of bread with me to use for fishing. Suddenly a crow came by, picked up my bag of bread and flew with it to the other side of the water. There was no way I could come there without swimming or walking about a mile, mainly on gravel ground and I'm pretty confident that if I would show up at the other side, he would simply fly back with my bread.
Crows are definitely smarter in both Ravens on the other hand are more individual than crows Edit: Just remembered my online name is Crow, I PROMISE IM NOT BIASED I SWEAR
When was the last time you witnessed a crow wolf down a pigeon whole? Those seagulls must be immature gulls, they didn't know how to break the cracker. The crow simply took it off of them and flew away with it!
There are some crows living near me that I feed dog food. Occasionally I'll toss out some stale bread slices. The crows will carry the dry bread to the bird bath and soak it till it's soft enough to break into smaller pieces.
And yet a few weeks ago I saw a crow fly into a tree. Not land on a tree branch, mind you, but fly into a tree and then fall on the ground. When it picked itself off the ground it was looking around like it was trying to tell if any other crows saw it happen.
I like how the person filming this knew *something* was going to happen, even if they didn't know quite what, so they opened their camera. Those poor seagulls chasing that clever crow at the end, going, "Mine! Mine! Mine!"
Anytime I can see crow's brain scheming I immediately think they're so cute. You can see his little brain going "okay, how am I going to play these idiots" as he walks around biding his time, haha.
Gulls take 4 years to mature, so the ''adult looking ones'' are probably 3 years. Those spots on the head seem to be the last of the ''baby'' feathers. While the other ones are probably on year 1. Crows are definetly smarter, but put a 15 year old seagull there and things would be different.
Right I have a murder in my woods and some hawks. I hear them fighting alot and one day got to witness it the crows had that thing surrounded and were attacking in coordination.
Crow uses the human commentator to distract the gulls who are now thinking about what the human is talking about. Crow moves in and takes the biscuit lol
My parents have a fountain in their back yard. Crows would often bring cookies or crackers (probably from the elementary school a couple blocks away) and dip them in the fountain to soften them up before eating them. Clever birds.
Yeah they love to dip their food in water... Be it anything.. I read somewhere it's because they don't make saliva, so moist food tastes better... Don't know how true it is
In my town there is always seagulls and I have to watch them when feeding crows (mainly in winter, east of Canada) If I put bread it will surely be spotted by seagulls that are going to come from nowhere and do a «gulp and run». They always make lots of circles in the air before going down, to make sure all is safe. My solution was to give crows some peanuts in shell, which seagulls don’t really like. (when it comes to food, seagulls seems to be more aggressive compared to crows)
Yeah I've noticed that seagulls don't seem to like peanuts and I think it's because they don't know how to open them. They just attack them, then the peanut goes flying and they rage quit, lol. But crows will hold the peanut down with their foot and tear the shell open with their beak
Crow thoughts ---------> "na im not interested in that cracker, not at all.... Hmmm look at that over there.... well I will just leave my back to it and watch out for ya...... Suckers!!!...........
It has an awareness of mind. It knows that if it positions its body so that it isn't facing the food then the seagulls won't see it as a threat. That is some advanced mental capacity
I find that generalisation a bit of a received wisdom anthropomorphic vanity. Each species has their their own etiquette and, while crows and gulls do tend to co-habitate quite a lot (along with pied wagtails and to an extent pigeons), the gull is without doubt the more assertive. Those are baby gulls, anyway, and will become a lot more adept at fighting for food in a few weeks.
Yes, once people know some fact about an animal (like "this animal is smart/dumb") they tend to interpret everything they see based on that. There was no outsmarting in this video, just a bird seizing an opportunity. Gulls snatch food from humans, but we don't say they're outsmarting us.
@@rebeccahicks2392 nah we are just too lazy to fight for our food. For us not getting a slight mark on our skin by a seagulls claws or beak is more important than not loosing food. We can buy food in seconds, but we cant make the wound heal in seconds. We just dont care that much about food.
I don't think that crow stole the cooky because of it smartness. First of all it was baby seagulls vs adult crow. Besides those seagulls seems to be not very hungry
Crows absolutely adores seagulls... There is no comparison in the smartness between them here in this video.... These are baby black headed seagulls called.,. The laughing gulls.... They are usually left in warmer climates to Winter over... I have actually seen Canadian geese take care of baby laughing gulls in the winter.... Although the laughing gull will go sit on a large body of water at night they will still return to those who are helping them.... They are totally oblivious to many dangers....

@@terryenglish7132 Terry.... Accidents do happen... Shame on people who teach seagulls to take food from their hands while they're in flight...

And they have actually protected them from the Hawks in land.... And they have been a true blessing for the seagulls to survive..... During the day inland during the winter....
I disagree! I saw an adult seagull taking and wrapped food product out of the bin and take it onto a road. Placed it down and watched a car nearly run the package over. It didn't work! so the seagull re positioned it on the road for a better strike
Everybody knows crows are some of the smartest birds. Saying they're smarter than seagulls is like saying humans are smarter than gorillas. Does it even need to be said?
That is a reasonable statement since it's widely reported. I suspected, based upon experience in conversation, that someone imagined the visual would convey an unspoken color-coding of intelligence. (Maybe not.) The reply to that is universal: "If they believe that coloration causes intelligence, how smart can they be?" This is only a comeback, not a conversation starter.
Always interesting to watch. Little qualifier here that these are young inexperienced seagulls, the one that is in front of the food raises its head in typical 'begging' mode wanting to be given food it actually understands (so to speak) but its parent(s) are not around. With adult seagulls the crow will usually not succeed, and in my experience they are quite weary of them; obviously if there is an opportunity to take the food without getting attacked crows will still take it (usually when they can escape to trees or know the hooks and crannies of an urban environment for quick getaways).
😒 There is no comparison. Crows are problem solvers & one of the MOST intelligent animals on the planet if you were unaware. They are up there with dolphins. Smarter then most monkeys/apes. They can solve complex puzzles. Like that smart. And if you didn’t notice these aren’t “baby” seagulls these are late teenage/young adults. Roughly 2/3 yrs of age. They become “full” adults around 3/4 yrs. Also there was at least 2 adult in this group. So roughly anywhere between 18-23 in human age. (As far as being FULLY matured) from what I observed I saw what looked alike about three roughly 18 year olds - one 21 yr old & 2 adult adults (unknown age) 6 total. Had there been a small equal size murder of these crows (yes even youths) it wouldn’t be close. It’s also difficult to tell the age of the crow itself but the tail feather do look shorter than average & very blunt/shabby leading me to belive this is also a young adult crow. Seagulls usually just copy what they see other seagulls do where a crow Ken learn from memory as well as trial and error. They have extremely complex prefrontal cortex. Which allows them to solve puzzles without observing another crow successfully complete it. I would absolutely suggest watching some of the amazing scientific research done on crows. Specifically New Caledonian crow‘s. There’s also a wonderful experiment that was done at a college where they wore masks to scare a flock of crows. And something like 20 years later they were still able to remember and identify this mask. Sure seagulls have been known to drop crabs and clams from a pie to get them to crack on the cement. But most of this behavior is done by watching other seagulls not trial and error. Crews have learned to do similar with cracking walnuts using oncoming traffic. They also identify when the light turns red so they know when to grab the nutmeat. Hence why you trying to get the point across that these animals are not comparable. Best to you on your journey learning about the amazing mind of crows. 🙂
7 years ago, my dad brought a crow chick home that fell out of the nest and broke its leg. We cared for it, his leg healed, he grew to a healthy 1 meter wingspan and his name was Rah. Best pet I ever had. Said "hello" each time he saw me and always wanted to share his food when I gave him. Learned him to fly by putting him in the air on a broom and he flew each morning to school with me untill a certain point and returned. A truly magical experience. He is now in a nature reserve socializing with the others!
@@stickiedmin6508 Extreme predators & we are part of their food chain, thats why they multiply like bacteria, they eat near enough anything from pigeons to your small garden pets, they have an insatiable appetite & like the bullfrog, if it fits in the mouth it will fit in the stomach & they absolutely hate us.
In the time the crow secures food from seagulls the lady in the radio puts together some of the most universal, meaningless sentences one could think of.
I never get tired of taunting seagulls. When I see them chilling in huge groups in a mall parking lot, I walk through and say, "How's it going, dummies?!"

Tell me about it! I was sitting on a street in Rotterdam eating a sandwich I just bought and a gull came flying down and snatched it!
He, that's unfair!
You are compairing adolescent sea-gulls with a mature crow.😂
In all fairness even adult gulls aren't too good at problem-solving and hardtack isn't the easiest thing to eat without grasping appendages. These juveniles are pretty visibly flummoxed by it.
Crows just find something to wedge such uncooperative morsels in so they stay in place and cheerfully peck them apart - I've seen them do that with frozen bits of bread and freaking car windshield wipers.
When I was young I was fishing, I had a bag of bread with me to use for fishing.
Suddenly a crow came by, picked up my bag of bread and flew with it to the other side of the water. There was no way I could come there without swimming or walking about a mile, mainly on gravel ground and I'm pretty confident that if I would show up at the other side, he would simply fly back with my bread.
I always remember seeing a load of geese fighting over some bread and just when one thought he had finally won, a crow flew down and nicked it lol
Seagulls have herd intelligence while crows have high individual intelligence
Crows have both to a greater extent than seagulls. When they fly in huge masses to go roost at night it’s like a giant life form
so you are saying americans are dum
Crows are definitely smarter in both
Ravens on the other hand are more individual than crows
Edit: Just remembered my online name is Crow, I PROMISE IM NOT BIASED I SWEAR
Crows are incredibly social creatures. Magpies and other Corvids also mourn their dead and have complex social hierarchies and communication.
Crows have Herd intelligence...
You can watch often crowns hunt Owls in a Group while Owls hunt silently and Alone.

Got to acknowledge that little tail-feather pull at the beginning.
This needs a voice over edit for the seagulls and crow just watching without the sound was hilarious!!
Hah, like those old videos of the dog and cat "talking" to their owner 😆
I love how that middle seagull chases after the crow all mad knowing full well he ain't gonna do nothing lol
Seagulls: "mine mine mine mine mine mine mine...."
Crow: "oh shut up that's mine" **proceeds to nab and flies away**
When was the last time you witnessed a crow wolf down a pigeon whole? Those seagulls must be immature gulls, they didn't know how to break the cracker. The crow simply took it off of them and flew away with it!
There are some crows living near me that I feed dog food. Occasionally I'll toss out some stale bread slices. The crows will carry the dry bread to the bird bath and soak it till it's soft enough to break into smaller pieces.
Those brown plumage seagulls are juveniles which just left their parents nests. The mature seagulls have white plumage.
Seagulls don't eat pigeons whole either. Pelicans do that.
@@chaotixthefox Pelicans do it more often, but often big gulls aren't hesitant to gulp down a whole pigeon either.

And yet a few weeks ago I saw a crow fly into a tree. Not land on a tree branch, mind you, but fly into a tree and then fall on the ground. When it picked itself off the ground it was looking around like it was trying to tell if any other crows saw it happen.
I thought the title said cows, watched the whole video expecting to see a cow
I admire that crow's patience
Crows are some of the most intelligent birds in the world bar none!
I like how the person filming this knew *something* was going to happen, even if they didn't know quite what, so they opened their camera. Those poor seagulls chasing that clever crow at the end, going, "Mine! Mine! Mine!"
That crow said”SEE YA!”🤣
you made me listen to a social commentary audio for a whole minute, that's the real smart trick :P
Pretends to walk away when the gulls turn their backs , then quick as a flash turns and nabs the bread. Genius.

Gulls take 4 years to mature, so the ''adult looking ones'' are probably 3 years. Those spots on the head seem to be the last of the ''baby'' feathers. While the other ones are probably on year 1. Crows are definetly smarter, but put a 15 year old seagull there and things would be different.

My parents have a fountain in their back yard. Crows would often bring cookies or crackers (probably from the elementary school a couple blocks away) and dip them in the fountain to soften them up before eating them. Clever birds.
Yeah they love to dip their food in water... Be it anything..

In my town there is always seagulls and I have to watch them when feeding crows (mainly in winter, east of Canada) If I put bread it will surely be spotted by seagulls that are going to come from nowhere and do a «gulp and run». They always make lots of circles in the air before going down, to make sure all is safe. My solution was to give crows some peanuts in shell, which seagulls don’t really like. (when it comes to food, seagulls seems to be more aggressive compared to crows)
Yeah I've noticed that seagulls don't seem to like peanuts and I think it's because they don't know how to open them. They just attack them, then the peanut goes flying and they rage quit, lol. But crows will hold the peanut down with their foot and tear the shell open with their beak
Crow thoughts ---------> "na im not interested in that cracker, not at all.... Hmmm look at that over there.... well I will just leave my back to it and watch out for ya...... Suckers!!!...........
Putting its back to the food to make out like its not interested in order to drop the gulls defences. Smart
The crow is certainly brighter than the videower who couldn’t even find the sound mute button 🤪
Damn it, I thought I was going to be watching a video of some clever cows.
Same here dude
what a smart crow. The woman had nothing to say and he was just waiting for the seagull to lose focus and fall asleep, so he could steal the food
It has an awareness of mind. It knows that if it positions its body so that it isn't facing the food then the seagulls won't see it as a threat. That is some advanced mental capacity
I haven't a clue why this got recommended to me, but I'm all for it.
I don't know why this is so entertaining.

I find that generalisation a bit of a received wisdom anthropomorphic vanity. Each species has their their own etiquette and, while crows and gulls do tend to co-habitate quite a lot (along with pied wagtails and to an extent pigeons), the gull is without doubt the more assertive. Those are baby gulls, anyway, and will become a lot more adept at fighting for food in a few weeks.

Yes, once people know some fact about an animal (like "this animal is smart/dumb") they tend to interpret everything they see based on that. There was no outsmarting in this video, just a bird seizing an opportunity. Gulls snatch food from humans, but we don't say they're outsmarting us.
@@rebeccahicks2392 nah we are just too lazy to fight for our food. For us not getting a slight mark on our skin by a seagulls claws or beak is more important than not loosing food. We can buy food in seconds, but we cant make the wound heal in seconds.

I disagree! I saw an adult seagull taking and wrapped food product out of the bin and take it onto a road. Placed it down and watched a car nearly run the package over. It didn't work! so the seagull re positioned it on the road for a better strike
To be fair those are baby seagulls so they are pretty clueless to begin with.
the girl rambling you know, on the radio ummm and so, you know...
Everybody knows crows are some of the smartest birds. Saying they're smarter than seagulls is like saying humans are smarter than gorillas. Does it even need to be said?
No, but it's a funny title nonetheless because it captures the whole essence of the video.
That is a reasonable statement since it's widely reported. I suspected, based upon experience in conversation, that someone imagined the visual would convey an unspoken color-coding of intelligence. (Maybe not.)
The reply to that is universal: "If they believe that coloration causes intelligence, how smart can they be?" This is only a comeback, not a conversation starter.
I'd take a seagull over you in an intelligence test.
Filming crows and listening to civil rights causes definitely not a good idea
but that was the crow talking
With great patience comes great biscuits.
The crow is like "hey seagull what's that over there?" and as the seagull turns and looks the other away, the crow snatches the food then flies off. 😆
Always interesting to watch. Little qualifier here that these are young inexperienced seagulls, the one that is in front of the food raises its head in typical 'begging' mode wanting to be given food it actually understands (so to speak) but its parent(s) are not around. With adult seagulls the crow will usually not succeed, and in my experience they are quite weary of them; obviously if there is an opportunity to take the food without getting attacked crows will still take it (usually when they can escape to trees or know the hooks and crannies of an urban environment for quick getaways).
😒 There is no comparison. Crows are problem solvers & one of the MOST intelligent animals on the planet if you were unaware. They are up there with dolphins. Smarter then most monkeys/apes. They can solve complex puzzles. Like that smart. And if you didn’t notice these aren’t “baby” seagulls these are late teenage/young adults. Roughly 2/3 yrs of age. They become “full” adults around 3/4 yrs. Also there was at least 2 adult in this group. So roughly anywhere between 18-23 in human age. (As far as being FULLY matured) from what I observed I saw what looked alike about three roughly 18 year olds - one 21 yr old & 2 adult adults (unknown age) 6 total. Had there been a small equal size murder of these crows (yes even youths) it wouldn’t be close. It’s also difficult to tell the age of the crow itself but the tail feather do look shorter than average & very blunt/shabby leading me to belive this is also a young adult crow. Seagulls usually just copy what they see other seagulls do where a crow Ken learn from memory as well as trial and error. They have extremely complex prefrontal cortex. Which allows them to solve puzzles without observing another crow successfully complete it. I would absolutely suggest watching some of the amazing scientific research done on crows. Specifically New Caledonian crow‘s. There’s also a wonderful experiment that was done at a college where they wore masks to scare a flock of crows. And something like 20 years later they were still able to remember and identify this mask. Sure seagulls have been known to drop crabs and clams from a pie to get them to crack on the cement. But most of this behavior is done by watching other seagulls not trial and error. Crews have learned to do similar with cracking walnuts using oncoming traffic. They also identify when the light turns red so they know when to grab the nutmeat. Hence why you trying to get the point across that these animals are not comparable. Best to you on your journey learning about the amazing mind of crows. 🙂
