  • Did you ever imagine that the cackling, cawing crows in your yard were actually counting?  Well, there's definitive new research on crows counting out loud, just like humans do.  Here are some key facts:
  • The new research study by scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany demonstrates that crows count and they do so out loud
  • Their count is their caw
  • They produce specific numbers of caws in correlation with specific numbers of visual and auditory stimuli
  • The scientists found they can count up to 4
  • The scientists say they have the same number skills as human toddlers
  • Like a human the crows are able to understand the abstract number of objects and then vocalize the number
  • These findings are a first in the animal kingdom: just like humans, crows are able to count the number of visual or audio prompts and then vocalize the number
  • This is the latest piece of animal behavior research that revolutionizes thinking on how smart wild creatures around us actually are
  • It has just been published in the Journal Science.
