Wild Crows and Jays Solve A 3D Printed Puzzle

- In this video, I test the intelligence of wild crows and jays against a 3d puzzle design pioneered by CZcams creator Maker's Muse.
Here's the original Maker's Muse video that inspired me to build the puzzle: • Can Wild Parrots Solve... - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I'm interested to know if the color red was what alerted them at first, even when the puzzle was shrunken down to a smaller size.
I don't think the colour red would effect Crows as they like to eat carrion etc, if anything it may be a plus. I have read Seagulls dislike that colour though.
Crows are excellent problem solvers but can be very intensely Neophobic, especially compared to cockatoos. They are a perfect combination of intense curiosity and pathological paranoia. I suspect that one is a really easy one on the scope of what they can solve (I made quite a few crow puzzles in the last few years some with 3 steps and different locking mechanisms) But unless they are very young they often need to be familiarized with novel objects and be trustful of who brings it. Solving skills for such puzzle could be a matter of seconds in the right conditions.
Nice to see though :)
That makes sense. This video represents my excitement of actually interacting with these birds through the first puzzles. I've since built more complex puzzles that are stacking and modular. They seem to have no problem with two different steps, but my three step puzzles seems to test their patience and attention span. Once they crack the three step puzzle, I'll upload a new video. I hope to see some of your puzzle ideas in the future, if you have time to put them out there!
@@TheTonyAbraham I'll be looking foreward to it !
So true! Like cats, & my wild whitetail deer friends, crows are very routine and "norm" based..they use much of their intellect recognizing subtle changes, knowing all that is or has happened in their territory..like me riding a bicycle, it is something separate from the environment norm..I park bike, "it's a trap!.. ok, it's not a trap..ITS NOT NORMAL!😱⚠️⛔🚫☠‼"
UNDERSTANDING their reaction helps, they are distracted in a threatening environment..that doesn't help. It's hard to provide a safe place for an animal to visit YOU unless they find you quiet/safe. Once they feel safe, they LOVE puzzles! If they see you do it once, lot of times they'll get it- their sense of common sense/process, physics, behavior, and counting are strong!
You do sometimes get Crows who are totally fearless though, but they're few and far between. Also Crows who are unwell - perhaps with avian pox affecting the brain; will lose much of their neophobic tendencies and as a result not survive very long.
It's actually really interesting that crows can identify the concept of a trap and avoid it.
That was AMAZING! thank you for taking the time and making the effort. Great video! ❤
This is such high quality content!! Thanks for the video!
1:39 thanks to the amazon 🤣🤣🤣
Did u try the larger one after they conquered the smaller one
Very cool! Thanks for your video! I'm a big fan of crows. :)
Me too, they are the best 🙂
I don’t think crows are more skittish than other birds because they are larger and therefore slower. I think it may be an inherited trait because they have often been targetted in urban environments (for sample, the government kill them a shot gun is where I live). I feed a group of crows in my neighbourhood, and they still keep a healthy distance from me Sometimes a pigeon will see me there, fly in, and will basically be at my feet trying to get the peanuts before the crows. I can’t imagine pigeons are faster than crows. But yes, it could be dumber…
Great comment. I agree, pigeons (and cockatoos for that matter) could very well be much dumber than crows, that wouldn't surprise me a bit. Neither of those birds, as you've already implied, have been the target of government, farmers, and homeowners in general as the crows have been that I'm aware. I'm pretty sure too cockatoos are at least partially protected by government, and pigeons have been raised in captivity almost as much as dogs and cats. If I'm a crow, I'm probably going to be curious, but still quite weary of human made objects.
Humans are the one creature Crows are unconditionally afraid of, with good reason. Which is why, to me, making friends with them is so rewarding.
Make more I love this shit great video
Anthony, would you be willing to sell one of these puzzles? (Or point me to where I might be able to get one?) I have some blue jays that visit my fire escape regularly and I would love to test this with them!
Hi, would you be willing to share the 3d-model?
❤️😊
Give them cat kibble and your deal buddies
And cashew nuts..
Caw caw!
how big would you say your Crows are? Length from beak to tail? I only ask, because i have some "black birds" in the backyard, but I don't think they are Crows, they range about 6-8 inches long, and I think they have yellow eyes. Also, I haven't heard the cawing at all. My end goal is to attract Crows to the yard, Im building a feeder for them away from the squirrels, and Ive been practicing my calls
Crows are about a foot long, Ravens are much bigger. I wouldn't bother trying to "attract" them, as they are much smarter than us.
Just put food out for them and hopefully they will forgive us after we've destroyed their planet in a nuclear war 👍
Cracked corn, peanuts, dry dog food, bread all good to attract crows.. they may simply GB be avoiding you..something they're excellent @, remember they trust providence over human entangled provision, they'll look @ you like.."ok boss, you are going to come up & feed me like a creep as I'm ["grocery shopping"] ??? SKETCHY!!"
They don't even like to see you seeing them, yet alone look out a window or door, they like 100% 360° GOD KNOWLEDGE of you & you not be obscured or hiding..they know you come out of the holes in houses!🤔😉👍
Now imagine them 6-7 ft long, with teeth...and some poor critter hoping they Don't solve how to get into their hiding place.
