Should we trust those claims? They are based on the the fact that the 1.5 billion neurons in a crow&#8217;s brain are architecturally arranged in similar ways as are our&#8217;s, and that they seem to fire in a similar manner to our&#8217;s when we consciously experience something or relate that we are experiencing something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7446.jpeg?resize=890%2C668&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7446.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7446.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7446.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7446.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7446.jpeg?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7446.jpeg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7446.jpeg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> I am always weary of the &#8220;if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it must be a duck!&#8221; kind of arguments pursuing the quest to find ourselves in other forms of life.

Let&#8217;s leave that to the poets. And none has done a better job of pursuing crows as  conscious, questing heroes<em> <\/em>than Ted Hughes in his book <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bl.uk\/collection-items\/crow-by-ted-hughes-with-artwork-by-leonard-baskin\">Crow, From the Life and Songs of a Crow<\/a> (1970.)<\/em> Recovering from the loss of his wife through suicide, he responded to the American artist Leonard Baskin&#8217;s request to write a collection that would complement Baskin&#8217;s crow-focussed artwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crow, born from a nightmare in the story, is an ultimately inadequate hero on a quest. Lots of mythological and folkloric tidbits are woven into the narrative, and this little hero is very much like a traditional trickster, challenging, funny, amoral, sometimes destructive and always sharp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7430.jpeg?resize=890%2C668&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7430.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7430.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7430.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7430.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7430.jpeg?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7430.jpeg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7430.jpeg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7384.jpeg?resize=890%2C668&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7384.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7384.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7384.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7384.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7384.jpeg?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7384.jpeg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_7384.jpeg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is one of Hughes&#8217;
