I made a feeder for a squirrel and this happened...

Interesting clip and puzzle. Amazing to see the clever Jackdaw work out how to get the peanut - proves just how smart these corvids are. All that effort for one nut - maybe increase his treat so that at least two fall out at once or he's using more energy than is in the peanut ha ha !!

Smart Jackdaw. How long did it take for him to learn how to do it? All the corvids are highly intelligent.
What about the squirrel - has it worked it out as well?

Hi TeeJay,
That was the only Jackdaw of about 6 that worked out how to get the peanuts.
It took around 30mins.
The squirrel gave up on it and went for an easier option.

Another brilliant video clip FM, made me laugh out loud and smile seeing that cheeky squirrel in the VW !!

Brilliant clip.

Nature can be very intuitive when it wants to be, particularly where food is concerned.

That squirrel feeder is so cool !
But that crow (what species??) Is so clever... They're my favourite bird I love watching them. Absolutely FABULOUS video !!!!!

Lol that squirrell!!! How darn cute lol

Hi Kiwiriauk, thanks for the comments.

I'm pretty sure it's a jackdaw? but I'm no expert. They seem quite common here in Scotland.

They are really clever and good at watching the squirrel failing to work out the puzzle feeders I make,

and then swooping in after it's gone

and winning a peanut.

Clever thing xx

Hello FM, very clever birds indeed. Love the cute squirrel just sitting aboard the VW, holding on to the side, if you don't mind!
