Crows can recognize geometric patterns, suggesting that humans aren't unique in understanding shape structure.

Crows have a sense of geometric intuition much like our own, a new study reveals. They can detect the 'odd one out' in a set of geometric shapes, and have an affinity for geometric regularity – shapes ...

Crows, the undisputed math nerds of the bird world, have done it again. This time, though, it’s not arithmetic or philosophy of math that they’ve conquered – it’s geometry. “Claiming that […] only ...

Crows might appear like they only screech and steal food, but scientists recently discovered a complex side of these clever birds. Like us, they recognise unfamiliar shapes. German researchers found ...

Researchers at the University of Tubingen have demonstrated that carrion crows can detect geometric regularity in shapes and can distinguish between different geometric forms, opening up a new window ...
