Smart Crow

The crow is one of the smartest birds I have seen so far.
It can drive away a group of monkeys while it can also devise strategy to find food.
The first image was captured on 20.4.21 wherein the crow is not able to enter the grill and therefore eats the food holding the grill.


The second image taken on 15.6.21
Yay! I’m inside

Great observation! @Priti_Kanade
Coincidence the word says by chance
But this happens every spring season…

Can you also observe a male cuckoo who is keeping an eye on this crow busy making this nest?

Very difficult to see all this.
Which is crow and which is cuckoo?
Let’s make things easy.
How are we sure the cuckoo call is that of male cuckoo?
Is the cuckoo inspired by crow or crow inspired by cuckoo?

I have mentioned coincides that is, they occur together in the video
It’s not coincidence
Please check

The video shows a crow building nest and we can hear a male cuckoo in background
Good question who inspires whom.
Need to search about it
I think both have overlapping mating season so that cuckoo can lay eggs in crow’s nest

PS: I’m wondering if there is a baby Cuckoo in the nest. Recently cuckoo calls have decreased nearby from the time the crow laid eggs
