This video of a smart crow sledding is one of the coolest things I've ever seen online. The crow uses a lid to slide down a roof on a snowy day. Watching him play makes him seem like a little feathered human.
Watching an animal behave in such a human-like way is both uncanny and extremely cute. I hope this crow has his red sled stashed away somewhere safe so he can bust it out every winter. He deserves every snow day off bird-work so he can have fun like this.

More than a decade ago, a video from Russia captured a crow repeatedly sliding down a snowy rooftop on a plastic jar lid, then carrying it back up to do it again. Researchers have long noted that crows are among the most intelligent birds.
