BirdNote: A Crow That Makes Tools

AP Photo /Alaska Department Of Fish and Game, File

Saturday, August 10, 2013 at 8:58 a.m.  A crow named Betty learned how to take a straight piece of wire and bend one end into a hook. She then used the hooked end to haul up a tiny bucket of meat from the bottom of a long tube. A postage stamp was issued in honor of this New Caledonian Crow.

Watch a video of Betty.
