 We’ve built what we hope is a rugged, relatively approachable design to interacting with corvids using nuts and coins. But the hard work is really yet to be done - working with the corvids and the box to figure out how to get them to use it in it’s final format: fetching their own coins for peanuts. We’ve built what we hope is a rugged, relatively approachable design to interacting with corvids using nuts and coins.

-To that end, the more carefully you document your results (including # of cycles per phase, length of time in each phase, number of corvids using the box in your location, the weather, notes on the environment, etc. etc.!) and share those with the community, the better! [[http://groups.google.com/group/CrowBoxKit|the forum]] is an ideal place to post these as well as to ask questions, compare notes, and suggest changes to other people’s placement and protocols. +To that end, the more carefully you document your results (including # of cycles per phase, length of time in each phase, number of corvids using the box in your location, the weather, notes on the environment, etc. etc.!) and share those with the community, the better!
