Captive crows were presented with four horizontal tubes. One of the tubes contained some out-of-reach food; the others contained long and medium-length hooks - but again, these were all out of beak's reach; a shorter hook-like tool was positioned nearby. Visit Link →

this one is pretty cool. the crow is presented with a bucket with a handle at the bottom of a tube. the crow grabs a straight piece of wire, bends it, and uses it to hook the bucket and remove it from the tube.
