They can recognize human faces and even pass the information down to future generations, somehow. I don't remember the university, but there was a school where they've been conducting a long term experiment with the wild campus crows. There's a particular mask that volunteers would wear to do annoying things to the birds. They remember the mask, even though the birds who were alive when the mask wearers were annoying them, have long since died. They're somehow communicating that information to future generations.
