I am doing a paper for bio class on the brains of birde, parrots and crows in particular. I have tried google and google scholar, neither has helped much so far. Does anyone have links related to this subject? I would appreciate any and all. thank you.

I found a link that may be of some use to you, one that describes parrot and crow behavioral patterns in a very easy-to-read manner:

 

http://www.pbs.org/lifeofbirds/brain/

 

Also, a few more interesting links came up on the first page of the Google search that I ran.

 

Link: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=parrot+crow+brain+&btnG=Search

 

Just in case the link doesn't work for you, my search terms were: "parrot crow brain", without the quotation marks.

The paper should be interesting, to say the least, Deified. I find crow and raven intelligence fascinating, as I see these birds every single day, and the the fact that there is a thinking animal in front of me astounds me.

heres a link about raven intelligence
