I hope to eventually learn enough to be able to create my own pieces. Mental Floss My MethodĪt the moment, I am following James Julier to learn how to draw in the Procreate app.

The second the light goes green, the crow takes off to watch the nut get run over from afar it will even wait for the next red to scoop up the nut’s insides. Carrion crows wait until the light turns red before flying down to place the un-cracked nut on the road.

It’s a risky trick, but the crows aren’t usually run over because (unlike some people) they’ve figured out what traffic lights mean. The crow then waits for a passing vehicle to smash the nut, after which it will swoop down and eat the delicious interior. The birds have learned to take walnuts-a favorite treat-over to road intersections, where they put the hard-shelled snacks down onto the pavement. In Japan, carrion crows ( Corvus corone) use cars like oversized nutcrackers. I’ll share the one that astounded me the most, although all of the facts shared on the page are intriguing. In my search, I ran across a Mental Floss page extolling some amazing crow facts. Myths aside, crows are very interesting birds. That said, my research shows that crows are often featured in legends and myth from around the world. I don’t know any fairytales, fables, or folklore that include crows. I don’t have a tale to share with you, unfortunately.
