Giving Our Crow A Wrapped Present

- Trixie, our ambassador African pied crow, LOVES a good wrapped present. She enjoys food sure, but she also loves getting a variety of small toys, interesting rocks, pebbles, crystals, small sticks, you name it! Half the fun is the destruction of tearing apart the paper.

This made me realize how much I take opposable thumbs for granted.
She enjoyed the puzzle of opening the present more than the present itself lol
im not sure how i would even open the toy , lmao, no wonder crow gave up , if it even saw the nuts
Imodium is harder to get out. He has such determination. I would have given up
😂😂😂😂
I never had a doubt that crows were smart, but seeing them figure out that they have to tear the paper to get at the goodies that quickly was incredible. We don't give crows enough credit for their cleverness.
This is like me trying to get a Benadryl out of the little damn blister pack, and I have fingers and thumbs : )
😂 I feel this in my soul
Those goddamned blister packs were invented by idiots and sadists to laugh at old tired people who resort to wrecking the whole damned package and slurping out half a pill (ask me how i know!) even using scissors and tweezers it's still a fckng pain in the A!
Or trying to open one of those sealed plastic clamshell packs, with tools.
Whoever designed blister packs might have fingers, or even thumbs, but certainly no soul
I took 40 benadryl
Pretty cool to see the process at work. They definitely know how gravity works. You can see she's trying figure out how to get the box in the right position. ❤
You can also feel the frustration build as the wrapping paper stubbornly clings on.
If a being that flies doesn’t know how gravity works it will be dead in no time.
We used to have an issue with seagulls dropping small trash bags from great heights to get the bags to explode open, thereby revealing what usually amounted to lunchtime for seagulls!
great work by Trixie; she was proly like "C'mon mom I dont get a small treat incentive after all that work?"
She got the peanuts that were shoved in the toy, I just couldn’t sit around for 20 min while she did 😂
I know that crows are smart but this is incredible. Great video, thanks for posting.
normal crow behaviour, take a ook at one in a bin, smashing open plastic containers etc.
its so much fun watching crows think. They try things, try more things. Realizing a better strategy and just goes for it.
I read that Crows have the intelligence of a 7 year old!
@@ItstheFREEDOMsi nous pouvions les imiter....au lieu de leur compliquer la vie
Not a crow!
crows look so silly and funny to me because they look like they have hands in their pockets(like they are trying to look cool af) 😂
They do have hands called wings.
They certainly do look cool .I loved his ferocious attack upon that box . Never cross a crow I would say .
Crow opens the box and be like, "What kind of shiz is this?!? Gimme the treats!" 😁
Yes discovered horrid plastic item - should have just been the nuts.
@@weallmakechoices7456 I'm sure it's also just given nuts sometimes. It probably enjoys the challenge here.
@@alka7145 Didn't seem to enjoy it that much!
This is a bit assumptive. You have no clue what a bird likes or doesn’t like. She has the intelligence of a small child and is strongly motivated by toys and trinkets. She’s cautious of this one because it’s larger than she typically gets, and she’s cautious of any large unknown item. Perhaps if you ask next time you could learn something new about the animal and their behavior we’re always happy to help people understand her better 😊
@@darkwingswildlife It is you that is CLUELESS and in NO POSITION to tell others how to "understand her better". You are an arrogant LIAR. Countless people are pointing out how disappointed BOTH the bird and us viewers are to not be able to see the bird enjoy the find of what was wrapped. And you continue to justify your selfish oversight telling others they lack understanding. You are only compounding how irrational and self-serving you are.
Crow: "After all that work, no Kung Pao shrimp??"
Bird thinks " i wish i had some freakin arms " 😊
She's pissed, because after going to all that work getting the package open, there's no food in it. HA. 😄
Imagine the face of your neighbours when they watch the video.Probably they think ..Great ,now that crow is trained to open our packages too.
After all that we don't even get to see him get his treat!
lol it took her like an hour to work up the courage to pull them out of the strange new toy
That's funny, just watching how she opened the box was awesome
Amazing! 🤙🤙
So smart the way the bird knew gravity would get the paper off. Love this ❤
when i had our 2 rescue crows, we would always hide their food inside somewhere and have them figure out how to get it out. And of course, their first idea is to move it around and if that doesnt work, peck and rip it apart. Its a good way to play with them and use their intelligence
I was wondering what rescue cows were until I read "peck"
Looks like a Magpie to me....beautiful ❤
I thought the same, so went to researching. I’ve learned that there is a rare black and white crow called a pied crow that is native to Africa.
she’s an African pied crow! There are actually over 40 species of crows and ravens, most people don’t realize just how many there are 😊
The part of the covidae family
@@darkwingswildlife
I thought 'magpie' at first but the beak and feet didn't look right. You can see the same sort of iridescence in the black feathers when the light catches them but a magpie's are more obvious.
I'm in Cape Town, South Africa and this is what our crows look like here. It's a pied crow.
I like the way your friend pushes the box out of the way once she's got the toy out.
Hahahaha this is so cool. They are insanely smart! He even knew to try to get her to get them out of the ball! That's amazing.
That little look at 2:53😂 like is this worth it?
And she did that with just her beak .Bravo. Some presents that I got for Christmas took all of my fingers and teeth to get open :)
What a bright bird; Trixie managed to get that toy unwrapped in less than 4 minutes! I have not previously seen crows with a white band of feathers around the lower neck. In the northeast US their plumage is completely black.
I love crows,we raised several when I was growing up. Amazingly intelligent,and mischevious!! ❤️
This was when you found out Trixie has trypophobia. 😂 She’s like, “Yeah, you get it.” 😣
And the ear video is how I found out the internet has trypophobia 😂
When he opened the box I said “Smartypants…I mean Smarty feathers!”
Unwrapping is fun. Even crows like it. He uses his beak like a chop stick.
lol I’ve described her as having chopsticks for a face before
This is Beautiful. Relating to them (animals) in there ways of natural expresion/instincts!!!!!
That is a beautiful bird.
Look at those shiny feathers! 😱🥰
unwrapping is definitely more fun than picking through holes to get the treat!
Yes exactly! She had to work up the courage to pull them out haha took about an hour
That was great. So smart and determined!
Great idea … love watching this ..
That is the cleanest aviary I have ever seen! Love your crow!! ❤😊
lol only the vinyl, she throws her toys EVERYWHERE in the sandy part 🤣
Beautiful!!!
That was almost as much fun for me as it was for her. Great video!
Very interesting to see the birds method of exploring the object
That's one smart bird 😮
Amazing and fun to watch!!!
so wonderful.new to me this crow vid
What amazing creatures these birds are!❤
Reminds me of my grandkids when they open their Christmas presents!
I absolutely love this!
Crows are incredibly smart creatures. Fascinating to watch them.
How clever she is! 😍
They are so smart!
They're so smart!!
That was so fun to watch!
This is entirely too much busy work!~ Glad I have my beak with me...invaluable things, beaks!
It's what they do to my bin bags every Wednesday
No praise or encouragement in that voice. Nothing nurturing. Sweet gesture. Smart crow.
??? What are you talking about?
I love how Trixie dropped the box to help get the paper off. I've watched crows drop clams that they've dug out of the tidal mud of a nearby creek down onto concrete so that the shell will break open. The crow then eats the clam meat. That's fun. Watching them drop small snakes is a little more unnerving and makes you avoid walking under trees. Loved the video though. Thanks!
In my geographical area Crows scavenge our Chestnuts when in Season.
They're fairly hard shelled so the Crows drop them on the streets with flowing traffic then land on nearby Hydro Lines & wait for cars to crush them.
Extremely clever animals & fascinating to watch.
The intelligence is amazing!
She is gorgeous
The way it immediately figured out it was supposed to be unwrapped!
So darn smart!! ❤️🇨🇦
They are super smart!! I could only wish I had one. I always, always wanted a pet
crow..
😳 she's so smart!!
So smart, what a beautiful creature! The crows we have in my neck of the woods are fully black and also smart as the dickens , I just love them. Had a “pet” one as a kid named him Fred, he was wild but would land on my head or arm, and spoke a few words. I would give him/her love and treats and Fred would bring me clothes pins and shiny things on occasion.
I adore birds. Would love to have a crow friend
They are such clever little critters. I've had the pleasure of getting to know an African Pied named Friar Tuck who lives at Dollywood. I only get to see him occasionally now instead of almost daily but he remembers me which makes me feel honored. I love watching his brain work out puzzles in the most destructive way possible.
I’ve seen Friar around on social media!
She's so smart! 🧠
Incrivel!!!!!!💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
So cute
Such a clever bird!
Aren't Crows utterly amazing creatures!
Watching her work out how to get the paper off, how to open the box, how to get the toy out, using everything from her beak to her claws to gravity, was just amazing! Corvids are incredible animals.
Heh, tear along the perforated line. Clever girl. 😊
I’m glad I don’t have to use my head and beak as a hammer.
Crows are very clever birds in the world.
The crow is so excited to opened the box, she’s good in opening the box, but when she saw the treat, she was a little
bit amazed!
yeah, wrapping gifts is a long established practice in the crow culture. lol
I like his little white vest.
I knew crows understood about displacement. But, this crow is also showing an understanding of inertia.
Crows are awesome!
Funny thing is she’s too impatient to show an understanding of displacement. She just bashes at the thing until she breaks it 😂
@@darkwingswildlifeIn this case, yes. But, I've seen other videos where crows add stones to water to make their treats float within reach.
Here, the crow understands that a particular way of yanking the wrapping paper will leave the box itself behind - Kinda like the magician's trick pulling out the table cloth. She tried it more than once, including yanking the box to try and leave the ball behind, but the ball was in too tight. So it was obvious she had figured the inertia part out.
p.s. thank you for the video - it was fun to watch.
Similar approach to opening packages to my own.
This is the most fun I ever had seeing anyone unwrap a present!
Clever girl!
Clever birdie!
What a smart penguin. 😂
You keep making fun videos like this and you will be at a million subscribers in no time 👍
Great video 🤩
😊😊
That's not a crow. That's a penguin.
It's a magpie
@@lesliekupchanko5001 Nope, it isn't. It is a Corvus albus.
@@lesliekupchanko5001 It's a crow.
Yes, you're right, magpies are more slender.
Thats not a penguin
That beak is a weapon!😊 I'll never call anyone a bird brain again, so smart 😅
Not even Nikki?
@@mickeybitsko1676 He/She is such a beautiful bird, very smart very special 🥰
Crows are so stinking smart
Crazy how she behave exactly like our magpie used to do like poking at everything (0:49) especially new stuff or wiping its beak this way (4:29)
Crow;
"Next gift you wrap in tissue paper, OK" ?!
Instructions unclear, wrapped in 500 layers of tissue paper
Thank you for not keeping her in a cage in the house! Never saw a crow with white “accessories”. I’ve seen 3 year olds that couldn’t get a wrapped box open that quickly.
Tiny brains are a miracle!
when Santa comes and you feel you have been had
This reminded me of times ive had to put together ikea furniture
I love how you want her to play with the box but she has better things to do first.
I was surprised how it decided to hold the box down while it took the paper off
I live in the UK in a semi rural property with a 2 acre field. Over here we have Carrion Crows, ravens, jackdaws and magpies. We don't get Ravens here where I live but we get crows, magpies and jackdaws. I love Corvids. They are such intelligent birds. I put food out in the field for them and make a clicking sound with my tongue. The 2 'resident' crows are the first to arrive and sit in a nearby tree to claim the food. The magpies dance around on the edges waiting for the crows' attention to be elsewhere then they sneak in and grab the nearest bit of food. The other magpies then instead of grabbing a piece of food themselves often chase the magpie who has grabbed some and fly off after it!! I could watch them fo hours!!
Crow was like "im not that hungry/motivated to work out this puzzle"
lol this is quite true, she worked up to caring eventually 😂
Crows are CRAZY smart!! I've seen them sacrifice one crow to annoy humans at a food truck table to get them to chase him away and then the rest of the GANG comes in and takes the food left on the table!!
"Whats in the BOX?! Oh another stupid toy"
Great sound track
Gracias
So intelligent and she knew her limits, wanted you to open the last part, hope you did 😂
She’s like you KNOW this toy is too big 😂
@@darkwingswildlife Does she talk ? I think Ravens can, not sure about Crows
Crow WILL NOT be denied!
That was so fun...i remembered my Boston terrier and taught him to open gifts...
Big mistake lol!!!!!
😆 I wouldn’t let her near a Christmas tree
The things on its feet remind me of the spats Scrooge Mcduck wears.
wrapped present: *just sits there*
crow: “so you have chosen death…”
Beutiful❤❤
