Crow Movies:

In 2005, I worked as a volunteer research assistant studying the tool-related behaviour of New Caledonian crows with Dr. Gavin Hunt. The New Caledonian crow, Corvus moneduloides, is one of very few animals that are known to not only use tools, but to manufacture them from raw materials. These crows manufacture at least two distinct types of tool in order to catch larvae and insects. The first is constructed from twigs; the second is constructed from the barbed edges of Pandanus leaves. The construction and use of these tools is fascinating, and can be seen here.
