| This reminds me of a German (I think) experiment where they found out that one old crow recognised herself in the mirror, which is a VERY intelligent thing to do. |

| I was hoping that after all the coins were gone off of the ground the crows would go out into the city, pick up change and then fly it back to the vending machine to buy peanuts. Wouldn't that be a logical next step?? |

| i can see the stadium idea working... if they can pick up coins they can pick up trash, the problem is greed, you will need real big garbage colecting machines and a load of peanuts, after the stadium is clean they will not stop, they will keep fetching more and more trash, rocks other dead crows and anything they can get there ''hands'' on. |

| They are highly adaptable, so this could be controlled with the introduction of a colored light to trigger them that the machine is now accepting trash. I do find it humorous to think that they may steal someone's hanging laudry or swoop in to nab someone's groceries in order to obtain a peanut. |
