Corvidology, anyone?

Ravens are so frickin’ cool.

They also recently did an experiment at Oxford with a pair of crows named Betty and Abel wherein they presented the birds with the same bait(a bucket of meat out of reach inside a glass tube, just like in the video you just saw if you were web-savvy enough to click on the red words above) and two pieces of wire, one hooked and one straight. Betty grabbed the hooked wire to fish the bucket out, Abel stole the hooked wire from Betty, and rather than giving up, Betty “modified” the straight wire into a hooked wire, and was thus able to hook the bucket, pull it up, and retrieve her snack.

Hmmm… Wonder what that says about male vs female? ;)

And, it says here, ravens are associated with the Triple Goddess-hurrah! Guess I’m living in the right house.
