A French theme park is using trained crows to pick up trash and dispose of it into wastebaskets! Puy du Fou Park located in France’s western region was experiencing a litter problem. But instead of hiring humans to police the trash, they were able to train Rooks, a type of crow to do clean-up duties.

The perspicacious Rooks have turned picking up trash into a game as everytime they collect and drop some litter in the trash bin, they receive a morsel of food as a reward. Perspicacious (pərspəˈkāSHəs) means keen or intelligent.

The park is now much cleaner than before the employment of these Sapient or resourceful birds and visitors who enjoy watching the Rooks as well. Now that’s something to crow about!
