INTRODUCTION: I just watched an interesting video about a crow.
WHO & WHAT: A man named Alex wanted to test a crow named 007.
WHY: He wanted to see if the crow was smart enough to use the tools to get the meat.
GOAL: The crow needed to complete 8 different stages in a particular order to solve the puzzle and
to get the reward.
RESULT: That crow was determined to get the meat, so she persevered; she did not quit until she
used the long stick to get the food out of the hole.
