Probably very good. They've been known to communicate highly specific dangers to other crows and supposedly understand recursion:

I haven't read it yet but there's also a sci-fi book about intelligent society of crows (Children of Time series):

TIL the average corvid is notably smarter than the average compsci undergrad


the first book in the series is amazing. Unfortunately it goes down from there. Could not finish the third one ( Crow one )


Third one was interesting but out of place. It didn't move the story forward. Maybe a little bit (I don't want to spoil the ending).


That's disappointing to hear, I do own all three and plan to hopefully finish them before the years end.
