That's really cool! Crows a really smart animals. Its touching that they did this.

If y’all wanna learn more about how cool crows and related birds are, I definitely recommend y’all check out the Corvid Thanatology episode of the podcast Ologies! It’s technically about crow funerals and mourning behavior, but there’s a lot of other info, too :)

Edit: and honestly I’d gladly vouch for the podcast as a whole. She interviews people from all kinds of scientific fields from the popular to the vague. I love radiolab too, but I’ve never thought about buying their merch as much as I have for Ologies. Though now I think of it, that’d be nice too. But yeah, Ologies is great! I love Ali (sp?) Ward so much

My mom and dad had a crow, a big black one who loved cheetos and cracked corn and bird seed. My dad waited and waited for Cici the crow to leave him a gift, and one day she did. It was a silver drawer knob and my dad thanked Cici with a large pile of Cheetos and told my mom all about it. Over the coming months, and until they moved away, Cici would leave my dad gifts, and he would excitedly tell us.

I sneakily caught my mom placing scrap shiny metal in the feeding dish one day....never said a word.
