Love this project to train crows to pick cigarette butts. 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…

I 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.

Is there any evidence that the crows are poisoned? Can you provide the source?

I recall reading an article recently about city birds using butts in their nests to ward off insects.

Why would you demand evidence for this?

Juul is much more a gen z thing than millenial
