Ravens are among the most cognitively advanced birds. They are known for their problem-solving abilities, tool use, social intelligence, communication skills, and amazing adaptability.
Ravens, like many other corvids (a family that includes crows, magpies, and jays), have been shown to possess a remarkable understanding of water displacement, a concept often associated with human-like problem-solving abilities.
Watch a raven demonstrate knowledge of water displacement by dropping stones into a small glass of water until it is at a height where the bird can comfortably drink. I wish this raven could be our next president.
