Crows have shown the ability to count their own calls, a numerical skill previously only observed in humans, showcasing their impressive cognitive abilities.
Studying how animals understand numbers can help scientists explore the biological origins of human numerical abilities, according to neuroscientist Giorgio Vallortigara.
The experiment with corvids to produce a deliberate number of vocalizations on cue demonstrated their high cognitive flexibility and intelligence, proving their reputation for being smart creatures.
During the study, the crows were accurate in associating visual and auditory cues with the corresponding number of calls, demonstrating their advanced cognitive skills.
