Crow Is Captured On Video Removing Anti-Bird Spikes From Building

February 14, 2024

An intelligent crow has recently taken the spotlight for its remarkable feat captured on video. This feathered architect was spotted meticulously removing bird spikes from a building, showcasing an unexpected level of problem-solving and adaptability.

The video, shared to TikTok by a bystander, documents the crow's calculated efforts in dismantling the anti-bird deterrent spikes.

These spikes, commonly installed on buildings to discourage birds from perching and nesting, were no match for the crow's resourcefulness.

It has been reported that some crows - and magpies - are using these anti-bird spikes to construct their nests.

"I've been watching wildlife, and especially urban nature, for about half a century, and I've never seen something like this," said Cornelis Moeliker, director of the Natural History Museum Rotterdam. "It's almost unbelievable that it actually happens – I mean, the sheer irony of it."
