Wintertime just wouldn't be the same without a nice long afternoon trudging up the same snow-covered hill over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. The sore legs at the end of the day are so worth the countless trips speeding down the hill on a sled or an inflatable tube.
Think back to waking up on a school day to a fresh blanket of snow on the ground and turning on the local news or tuning into the radio to see if your school had shut down for the day. It was one of the best feelings in the world! Then you'd suit up as if you were going into battle against the elements: snow pants, long sleeves tucked into gloves, a big puffy jacket with a scarf snug underneath the zipper. You were ready to go sledding at the local spot!
When this crow saw that fresh snow had fallen overnight, she went looking for a way that she could enjoy it just like we do! Much like kids from college stealing the lunch trays from dining halls to fly down the hill behind the library so that they don't have to waste precious beer money on a real sled, this smart little birdie found a way.
A little known fact: crows are one of the smartest animals on this planet. They're one of the only creatures that can figure out how to use tools to accomplish complex puzzles. It's awesome to see this one putting her big old bird brain to good use!
If this smarty-pants crow awoke the child in you, please SHARE with your friends and family!
Un oiseau qui s'amuse comme un petit fou!
Un oiseau s'amuse à faire du "snowboard" sur un couvercle de margarine: wow!
