The videos I watched were “Are Crows the Ultimate Problem Solvers?,” “Crow Brings Money for Women After She Feeds Him,” and “Why Crows are as Smart as 7 Year Old Humans.” The videos describe many individual feats made by crows that seem out of the ordinary. In fact, such things as solving eight step problems for food including tools and other implements or bartering with a woman. These aspects show many characteristics about these birds that mostly go unnoticed. One particular action that stood out to me the most is how crows will drop nuts onto crosswalks to let cars crush them open, given that their beaks can not do so.
Thesis – The plan is to allude to the intelligence of Crows, specifically their practice of dropping nuts onto crosswalks, by sculpting one in wearing a uniform of a nutcracker. This way it would combine both human and animal aspects together to describe the cognitive ability and actions of the bird in a visual form.
