My fair... crow???

Hehe, once again, I got persuaded that the crows living in trees around our house are far more intelligent thn some of the people living in apartments.

I can start with the fact that one of the birds has already noticed when it's the perfect time to come for a visit and beg for a treat. So, almost every day at 13PM, it's there and waiting patiently and a bit shamelessly for me to open the window and give it something to eat xD

Ayway, what I wanted to tell about, is not about a crow who wants to get something to eat. It is about a crow who has caught its own meal already:

Two days ago, I come into my room at the morning and see - it's snowing outside. Of course, I am in a total shock as the weather is too warm to snow yet. I start to watch more closely, and I discover it is not snow falling from the sky, but bird feathers.
Our neighbour in the 4th floor has an air conditioneer installed at the upper side of the window. And, whenever she turns it on and the air in her room starts to circulate, there is a stream of air coming out through a hole on the upper side of the box. Once, one of the crows sat down on it and got blown off more due to its own surprise than to the stream.

Anyway, the crows are very intelligent birds who are easy to teach new tricks. So, after the first time being blown off, they had a thought how to turn this ''enemy'' into an ally.

So, I lean out of the window to see what the hell is going on and why is it snowing. And what do I see? There is a large crow sitting on the air conditioneer box, holding a dead sparrow pressed to it with one leg and is removing its feathers quickly ( nobody likes to eat their meal with feathers still attached to it xD ). The air conditioneer is on, the air stream is flowing, and the crow uses the air stream to blow the feathers away from the sparrow.

After a few minutes, the crow took off and flew away, sparrow in its beak and looking very pleased with itself. And you know, the crow had the full right to be pleased with itself, because I doubt that any other bird ( and some people, too ) in its place would have had the mind and imagination to work the seemingly ''enemy'' over into a ''friend''.
