Abstract
Common crows can be shaped to keypeck for food reinforcement, using conventional operant conditioning apparatus. They will respond for a variety of foods, but live mealworms and Prime dog food are the most effective of those studied here. The crow would appear to be an interesting avian species for study, because it possesses a number of more complex behavioral characteristics than the pigeon.
