Yes Ravens are very smart. Years ago I lived in a small mobil home east of Wallace Idaho at the end of the frontage road. Every once in awhile we would catch mice in traps and throw them out into the patch of weeds we called our yard. There were a couple Ravens who would come and grab the mice for their dinner.
I decided that when I cleaned the refrigerator out, instead of putting the old food in the garbage, I would take it across the road and feild to the railroad tracks that were no longer in use and dump it. The Ravens saw that and would come and get the food. They didn't care how stale it was- it meant they didn't have to hunt for their dinner. After awhile there was only one Raven, something had happened to its mate. He would come and eat as usual, but if there was no food out there for him, he would come and do a "tap dance" on the roof of our trailer- as if to say.."Hey don't you think it is time you threw me out some food?" He knew how to get me to feed him-smart little bugger!
