A paragraph from Jennifer Ackerman's "The Genius of Birds" in which avian behavioral scientists check whether or not New Caledonian Crows enjoy skateboarding (they don't).

Haven't there been videos posted of crows rolling down snow-covered roofs (and then flying back up so they can roll down again)?
Maybe the crows DO like having fun, they just don't recognize skateboards as being fun.
Yes, those videos are actually what prompted this study. They were seeing if New Caledonian Crows enjoyed sliding as much as the Hooded Crows in Russia.
Wildly curious if the folks at Glass Bottom Games saw this at any point.
