Crows have a high IQ, and some Japanese crows can learn some simple greetings pronunciation.
Extended data:
Japanese respect for crows can be traced back to Emperor Jimmu, the first Japanese emperor.
According to Japanese ancient books, about 2664 years ago, the first emperor Emperor Jimmu marched eastward from Miyazaki Prefecture to Nara Prefecture, and fought fiercely all the way to the mountainous area of Kumano Prefecture in Wakayama Prefecture. He got martial arts guidance from a crow sent by a god and successfully established a court. This crow has three feet and is called "eight birds".
Not only that, the crow was also regarded by the Japanese as a "national beast" and was once a symbol of Japanese football representatives.
The Japanese Football Association adopted eight designs of Wu Zhi as the emblem, and the jerseys of Japanese players participating in the World Cup were embroidered with eight Wu Zhi, but they were just a three-legged crow. This shows that crows have an unparalleled position in Japan.
