Crows actually have grudges. Bastards tell their friends you didn't feed them or threw bread at them, so remember to be nice - they're smarter than me at least!Comment

In New Zealand they have Kea, which are large parrots. They are scarily intelligent. They are very good at stealing food from humans, they watch humans intently to mimic some of our behaviour and have been filmed using tools.
It's quite unnerving being in an area with them as you know they are watching your every move...Last edited by SueEllen; 10 December 2016, 23:41."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
