Crows use their beak and wings to communicate with each


A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany, found that crows are able to communicate through gestures such as pointing at objects they want.

In their observations, the scientists found that crows using its beak like a hand, to show and offer items such as moss, stones or twigs.

These gestures were directed mostly to the opposite sex individuals to guide their eyes to certain objects and interact.

The intelligence of crows was already known in advance and sometimes comparable to that of higher primates, however, there was a study to back it up.

This news was published in the journal Nature Communications.
