Love this project to train crows to pick cigarette butts. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15486368 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15486368
I had hoped that the vaping trend would mean fewer cigarette butts, but now I'm seeing plastic Juul capsules littered here and there. So much for ecological millennials…

- learnstats2 8y agoI hate that project. It's completely gross to poison crows by training them to do something that we could train humans to do - with the exact same incentive system.
- king_phil 8y agoIs there any evidence that the crows are poisoned? Can you provide the source?
- joshontheweb 8y agoI recall reading an article recently about city birds using butts in their nests to ward off insects.
- learnstats2 8y agoWhy would you demand evidence for this?
