@skua I noticed that. My first thought was their visual processing (as applied to this task) probably isn't like ours.

Of course, they're not human, so nothing says they need to have the same cognitive process *around* tool using that we do. What looks like 'off-track' or 'distracted' to us might just be part of how *they* think about tools.

Bearing in mind that their language probably includes full-body gestures, that might even be the crow talking to themself.
