Crows, as we all know, are terrifyingly smart.

In the latest episode of a podcast called The Bittersweet Life, we hear from a young girl named Gabi who started feeding a group of crows, and her feathered friends started bringing her delightfully shiny presents in return, including earrings, paper clips, and even a light bulb. Her favorite gift so part is a piece of metal that says BEST. "I don't know if they have the part that says FRIEND," says Gabi.

Listen to a preview below and head to the website for the full episode, where you can learn how you can make your own crow friends too.
