I've seen a crow fly down from a tree and land on the corner of a sidewalk, look down the street in both directions, and then cross the street.

It was simultaneously the smartest and dumbest thing I've seen a wild animal do. Smart in that it actually looked both ways and crossed when the traffic was clear. Dumb in that the stupid bird could have just flown over and not had to worry about shit.

Reminds me of this time I saw a bunch of geese by the road. One was going to cross, and another goose grabbed it and pulled it back because there were cars coming.

I had the same thought about the fact they could have flown and avoided the whole street crossing fiasco in the first place.
