"Among birds, crows and ravens (or
corvids) are the most intelligent. They
have the largest brains for body size; they’re more like primates than birds.
In fact, some people call them “flying monkeys”.
The family
Corvidae originated from a forest ancestor in the Australian
fragment of Gondwana. It’s thought that the mental abilities of the early
corvids developed as a response to the challenges of adapting to a drying
continent. As Australia drifted towards Asia, corvids dispersed and colonised
the other continents."
