Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org
A study by researchers at the University of Tübingen has shown that crows can plan and control the number of calls they make, demonstrating advanced numerical competence and vocal control. The crows were able to produce a specific number of calls in response to visual or auditory stimuli, indicating they form an abstract numerical concept to plan their vocalizations. This ability suggests sophisticated communication potential in crows.
