1. Corvid to be sure...

Crow? Maybe a magpie of some sort? Regardless, wicked smart.

4. Hooded Crow aka Hoodies

All over Europe, well into Russia.

First cousin to our crow and just as smart, if not more so.

10. You're welcome

However, alittlelark may be right; it could be a magpie. They do look much alike.

Both are in the Corvidae family, so similar behavior and intelligence level.

2. Never underestimate a crow.

They are brilliant; much smarter than a lot of people I know.

11. Crows are amazing! They are really smart!

There was a Ted Talk I once heard about the training of crows to pick up trash in parks!

Another fun fact, crows fly out of they city every evening and return in the morning.
