Corvids, a family of birds that includes ravens, crows, and Corvus, have always fascinated us.
Their striking plumage and intelligence have inspired legends and mythology. Noah sent one out to see if the floodwaters had receded, and superstition holds that if the raven residents of the Tower of London leave, the kingdom could fall. They are highly intelligent and inquisitive, and some researchers believe that they might be the smartest, non-primate animal on the planet. They even do things just for fun, much like us.
