Crows

In this episode, Alex is  going to be talking about an animal that is extremely intertwined in human culture through literature, film, and folklore. However, what might surprise you is that they are known as some of the smartest animals on the planet, which gives a completely new meaning to the phrase “bird brained.” You’re not going to need to travel too far for this episode because many of you can find these animals in your own backyard. So, take a look outside your window, because we’re going to be talking about crows.

“Crows play a critical role in waste management, as they consume tons of pounds of waste every year which prevents pests and the spread of disease.”
