Intelligent!
I forgot why I had the kind of bird feeder that prevented big birds like this rook from accessing the feed. So buying that fancy house one has provided a challenge to these very clever birds which they cracked with destructive aplomb. They land on the house one which tilts precariously and spills all the seed out on the ground and they broke the other seed holder when I was away with all that seed strewn across the ground. I was annoyed and yet I had to admire their ingenuity and rational in achieving their goal. This one is a very big bird, (as big as a cat) with beautiful glossy plumage and a scary, tough looking bill. It was standing on the branch that I had the house bird feeder on and it dwarfs it due to its size. You can see by its stance that it was clearly working out the puzzle.
