Ravens and crows are officially Earth’s ‘smartest birds’: Here’s proof

Their brains may be tiny, but birds have been known to outshine children and apes. Until the 21st century, birds were largely disregarded as imbecile creatures. How smart can you be with a brain the size of a nut?

And yet the more we study bird intelligence, the more those presumptions are breaking down. Studies reveal that crows create tools, ravens solve puzzles, and parrots boast a diverse vocabulary.

Corvidae, however, is truly a special species of bird. Corvids include birds such as crows, ravens, and magpies and they are also referred to as simply part of the crow family. And although they’re not known for their linguistics, crows are highly intelligent.
