jungle-crow Thirsty Crow is a story we all know well and remember. The story is not baseless. Crows are the most intelligent of birds, and they’ve proved it time and again.

On May 26, 1999, we were sitting near an artificial waterhole in the Sumer Rest House in the Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary of Udaipur.

During afternoon the movements of animals and birds had slackened. At ten minutes past twelve, a jungle crow came and perched on a branch of a babul tree near the waterhole.

The crow had a big piece of dry roti in its beak. After scanning the area it flew near the waterhole, submerged the roti in water and started eating it. When it had finished half of it, a blue bull came from the jungle. The crow flew away leaving a part of its food near the waterhole. [Read more...]
