Brilliant! I love seeing examples of corvid cleverness, blows my mind how smart they are.

"I know! I'll sneak up behind them, pull their tail feathers, they'll get spooked and leave, and then I can bathe in peace."

Well done, crow. I'm not sure I would have thought of that...

It's more that it gets the one to chase after the other and gets rid of both in one trick. Though I guess whether you believe it was intentional or not is another matter, but given how smart we know they are I choose to believe it.

I hadn't noticed that. That's... even more impressive.
