Crows may be intelligent but they are also mischievous. The funniest crow
behavior I ever saw was when a crow crept up on a sleeping Canada goose near
Hoover Dam, pulled its tail, and started cawing loudly in its face.

We have 2 education crows. Recently I started suspecting that they were
locking me out of their enclosure by fastening the hook & eyelet. 2 days ago
they had completely removed the hook and it was sitting in their water dish.
Smart? Most definitely!
