Amazing crow feat recorded
Tiny cameras attached to the tail feathers of crows have revealed fascinating information about the birds. Researchers have seen their feathered friends making tools out of twigs and grass to help them with their chores. What’s more, the researchers have discovered that, if a tool proves to be especially useful, the crows keep it to use again in the future. The bird watch is taking place on an island near Australia, called New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean. The camera can move about, bending forward to record the belly, feet and sometimes the head of the bird.
