A crow could understand the number of people in that room

How high can crows count again?

[โ€“] souperk@reddthat.com 8 points 11 months ago

I wasn't able to find a definitive answer, but after skimming Wikipedia I think a reasonable range would be at least 3 but probably less than 17.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_intelligence

Anecdotal evidence from the 1960s has suggested that crows can count up to 3. It has been shown that parrots can count up to 17.
