I.Q. Crows are extremely intelligent birds, and have the largest brain of all birds except for parrots. Their body-to-brain ratio is equivalent to that of chimpanzees, that's not far behind us. In Japan, Crows use cars on the road to crack open nuts for them.

Tree Planter. Jays are important dispersers of oak trees, a single jay may cache 5,000 in a season. They eat these cached supplies in winter when food is more scarce. Many of the magnificent oak trees you see alive today were planted by jays.

People use piles of garbage to fertilize their gardens and feed themselves: Cool, eco-friendly, "green."
Crows use piles of garbage to fill their plates and feed themselves: Gross, disease-ridden, "bad."
Double standards are everywhere.
W/so many examples of birds, wildlife, & people thriving together, it's no wonder ATX was named Bird City Texas 2023! We work to convert human-dominated landscapes into thriving ecosystems. Check out our work at Hornsby Bend Biosolids Management Plant
A woodpecker drilled holes in someone’s house in California and filled them with acorns.
When the homeowner cut open the wall, the nuts spilled out. All 700 pounds of them.
