00:00I'm going to make the world's best eggs Benedict ever for crows, served only with their favorite
00:05sides. But before I reveal their reaction to the epic meal, I'm going to put them through a taste
00:09test, discovering their favorite breakfast fruit, their beloved cheese, their perfect hash brown
00:15sauce, and their number one nut. I've placed five of each, peanuts, pistachios, cashews, almonds,
00:23and walnuts on the plate. The nuts will be ranked based on how fast they're fully clear.
00:33The first crow makes its selection immediately, targeting the cashews.
00:40I placed the plate on the edge for a clear shot, but strictly speaking, this introduces a location
00:46bias variable. Are they ignoring peanuts because of taste or just distance? To be sure, I ran a
00:53duplicate test by rotating the plate 180 degrees. The verdict? Location was mostly irrelevant.
01:02They just really love cashews. Full data is in the description. And just like that, the cashews
01:08are fully cleared. Stick around to see their reaction when I'm up the stakes with a full
01:14eggs Benedict, hollandaise, and all. The almond is gone next. Then we see the walnut disappear.
01:20It takes a few more beats of waiting for the peanut and the pistachio.
01:25Cashews locked. Next on the menu, their favorite fruit. Google Gemini suggested watermelon.
01:32I carved five premium cubes from the sweet seedless heart. Red apples were another recommendation.
01:39I never expected to be a personal shopper for the local flock. Grapes and blueberries also made the
01:44list. Sliced for crows who appreciate a gourmet aesthetic. And finally, the raspberries.
01:52Last time I counted 15 crows. Today, there's nearly 40. Word travels fast. They are loving the watermelon.
02:00Can he seriously fit the last one? The patient neighbor's weight. Oh, crew.
02:10Patience pays off. Only one watermelon piece left.
02:17That was personal. Who said crows like apples? Let's track the winners. The first blueberry is claimed.
02:23Once one commits to a specific fruit, it becomes a trend. Whoa. Eviction notice. Apparently, he's the bouncer.
02:31Yes. Blueberries are officially the favorite. Watermelon takes a solid second place.
02:37You blocking the shot, crow. She snags the final grape to take the third place. And raspberries finished fourth.
02:43Finally, rotating the plate confirmed blueberries win again. Blueberries locked. Next on the menu, the cheese course.
02:51First, the tangy feta. Then, a smooth, creamy cheese. Blue cheese. Bold and potentially controversial.
02:58Smoked cheese. Testing their palate for hickory. And garlic and herbs. A savory, gourmet choice.
03:05The charcuterie board is ready for inspection. I'd like to show you the results after the rotation.
03:11Here's the first arrival. Heading straight for garlic and herb. Grabbing two pieces.
03:18She remembers the taste from yesterday. Keep watching the rock. Look at that plumage flare.
03:23A little dance. It's the same expert. She knows the mission. Stepping up to clear the very last garlic and
03:32herb.
03:33This one follows her nose to the smoked cheese. Three is tricky.
03:41So many choices.
03:44I think I confused them with all these options. It takes time to pick the best one.
03:51But remember our expert? She grabbed three pieces in just ten seconds. She makes it look so easy.
03:59Is it the pro again? Garlic breath confirmed.
04:02She dives straight for the last smoked cheese. And why not grab blue cheese too?
04:07She only picks the special ones.
04:15There we go. You won't pick the feta. I know you crow.
04:19She clears the last blue cheese.
04:22With neither finished here, the first test breaks the tie.
04:26Creamy is fourth.
04:28That wraps up the cold menu. Time to test their sauce preferences.
04:33They recognize the snack backpack.
04:36Detecting the baked goods.
04:39Freshly baked hash browns.
04:41Five stay plain. Five get tangy tomato ketchup.
04:44Creamy mayo for this section.
04:46Spicy hot sauce over here.
04:48And finally, ranch.
04:51Three judges. Five options.
04:54They ignore the rest and dive straight for the high-fat mayo section.
04:59While the boss licks the sauce, the others steal the mayo hash browns.
05:03It's a tactical heist.
05:04The boss hoards the mayo zone.
05:07He tries a ketchup one.
05:09Nope. He immediately regrets that life choice.
05:12Mayo is cleared.
05:14He grabs one ketchup too.
05:16Look at this rejection.
05:18Ketchup is not popular.
05:21It just joined apples on the block's permanent blacklist.
05:25Mayo is just a memory.
05:28Now they switch to the white ranch sauce.
05:31One tries the hot sauce.
05:33Stuffing three at once.
05:36Look at this guy.
05:37He blocks my camera to steal all the plain ones.
05:39He's fitting five hash browns and one beak?
05:42That has to be a world record.
05:44Plain is completely gone.
05:45Stop blocking me.
05:46Okay, ketchup finishes third.
05:48Hot sauce takes fourth place.
05:50And ranches actually last.
05:52They ignore the reds, but keep licking the white sauce spots.
05:56They really love the fatty stuff.
05:58Google Gemini suggested hard-boiled eggs over poached.
06:03Crows prefer them since they are less messy and easier to carry away.
06:07But I had to test it.
06:09Jiggly poached eggs on the right.
06:11Sturdy hard-boiled eggs on the left.
06:13Here, crows choose what makes the world's best meal ever for crows.
06:18Turns out liquid yolks make for terrible takeout food.
06:36Sick of the sloppy mess, this genius smartly upgrades to the highly portable hard-boiled egg.
06:43Hard-boiled easily wins as the ultimate grab-and-go getaway meal.
06:47I have all the data I need on their diet, but they don't know what I have planned next.
06:56Saute baby spinach with garlic and onion.
06:59Spread a layer on an English muffin.
07:01Spinach adds a savory layer.
07:04Scoop the avocado paste.
07:06It acts as the second base.
07:08Lemon juice stops it from turning brown.
07:11Cutting it into bite-sized chunks for them.
07:14Just fake it till you make it.
07:17Bite size matters.
07:19Same fake-it strategy applies here.
07:21Ready for the eggs.
07:23Place the hard-boiled egg, carefully dried on a paper towel.
07:28Drizzle rich hollandaise sauce over the top.
07:31Don't forget the second one.
07:33It needs plenty of sauce.
07:35Dry parsley adds the final touch.
07:38Now the winning side.
07:40Cashews go first.
07:41Then the blueberry champions right here.
07:44Garlic and herb, the undeniable cheese winner.
07:48Plus five baked hash browns.
07:50Drenched in beloved mayo.
07:53The final test begins.
07:55One brave volunteer eyes the strange yellow beast.
08:00Reinforcements arrive.
08:01The left one analyzes the risk, but hesitates to commit.
08:06Cashew gone.
08:07Cheese taken.
08:08Another cashew.
08:09Oh, the ice suddenly breaks.
08:11He stuffs two more cashews.
08:13That's four torn.
08:14Cashews win the final round.
08:16Time for mayo hash browns.
08:18He picks four.
08:19Mayo hash browns are clearly the favorite after cashews.
08:23He picks cheese, drops it, and grabs the last mayo hash brown.
08:28Two new judges.
08:30The right one pecks the muffin, but gets spooked.
08:33The left crow plays it safe and secures a piece of cheese.
08:38Another arrival on the far side.
08:40She studies the main course intently.
08:43Finally, someone tries the eggs.
08:45Here comes a bully.
08:47The eater ignores her completely.
08:49That is a power move.
08:51The bully tries again.
08:52The eater grabs a massive chunk and tactically rotates away.
08:55She secures the prize to feast.
09:01She doubles back to defend, but the bully steals a crumb and flees.
09:05The victor claims the remaining egg.
09:18Absolute chaos.
09:19Everyone is scared of the egg.
09:22Look at this indecision.
09:23Rocking back and forth.
09:24Is it food?
09:25Is it a trap?
09:28Still purely chaos.
09:30One brave soul pecks the yellow head, but nobody is committing to the feast.
09:35Now the breach is open.
09:36He devours the egg.
09:42This one ignores the fruit completely to snag two pieces of cheese.
09:48A new arrival dives in.
09:50He knows the clock is ticking and gobbles the egg in a rush.
09:55He grabs a portable chunk to go before the others can return.
09:59The cleanup crew arrives.
10:01He grabs the last egg piece that makes Eggs Benedict the third favorite.
10:06He adds the last cheese to his egg sandwich.
10:09Blueberries, the fruit champion, finish last.
