Some scientists believe that parrots are the most intelligent birds on earth because their brains are large as compared to the size of their heads. Do you know other birds that are smarter than parrots?
I think the highest encephalization quotient (EQ), among birds, is registered for crows.
Thank you for sharing this discussion.
Why crow? "For sure"?!
Probably and surely the answer is known by colleagues ornithologists.

Crows have a ritual and a system of human learning as mentioned in the Koran
The crow: has a relatively high level of intelligence compared to other birds and does not forget the face of the human if it hurt throughout his life.
African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus) is most intelligent among all birds. They are famous for their ability to talk and understand the meaning of the words.

Many members of the family of crows have remarkable abilities to solve problems. They recognize themselves in mirrors. Corvus frugalis a social species cooperate with other to get food. Corvus corax solve problems of pulling strings to get food. The Caledonian crow, Corvus moneduloides not only uses tools to get food but it is capable of forming a hock with a piece of wire in order to get a container with worms…
The family of birds that includes crows, ravens, rooks and jays - just may be among the most intelligent animals on earth.

Abstract
Knowledge of and planning for the future is a complex skill that is considered by many to be uniquely human. We are not born with it; children develop a sense of the future at around the age of two and some planning ability by only the age of four to five1,2,3. According to the Bischof-Köhler hypothesis4, only humans can dissociate themselves from their current motivation and take action for future needs: other animals are incapable of anticipating future needs, and any future-oriented behaviours they exhibit are either fixed action patterns or cued by their current motivational state. The experiments described here test whether a member of the corvid family, the western scrub-jay (Aphelocoma californica), plans for the future. We show that the jays make provision for a future need, both by preferentially caching food in a place in which they have learned that they will be hungry the following morning and by differentially storing a particular food in a place in which that type of food will not be available the next morning. Previous studies have shown that, in accord with the Bischof-Köhler hypothesis, rats5 and pigeons6 may solve tasks by encoding the future but only over very short time scales. Although some primates and corvids7,8,9 take actions now that are based on their future consequences, these have not been shown to be selected with reference to future motivational states10, or without extensive reinforcement of the anticipatory act11. The results described here suggest that the jays can spontaneously plan for tomorrow without reference to their current motivational state, thereby challenging the idea that this is a uniquely human ability.
Jay:
Jays are several species of medium-sized, usually colorful and noisy, passerine birds in the crow’s family, Fam: Corvidae. The names jay and magpie are somewhat interchangeable, and the evolutionary relationships are rather complex. For example, the Eurasian magpie seems more closely related to the Eurasian jay than to the East Asian blue and green magpies, whereas the blue jay is not closely related to either.
Parrots and the corvid family of crows, ravens, and jays are considered the most intelligent of birds. Not surprisingly, research has shown that these species tend to have the largest HVCs.

Thank you dear Prof. Dr.Jean-Pierre Jost your Satisfactory answer is completely right, but when we compare between the social life behavior's in motivated person; who has noble-minted and a small brain birds a large gab would be occurrence.
I will read the full text article.
Best regards.
The family of the ravens have wonderful abilities to speak and it is an integrated family system. The leader and the follower have the ability to cooperate in solving the problems and God in the Qur'an mentioned the crow where he taught man how to bury his dead.

When it comes to intelligence, Crows should probably be at the top of the list, or close to it. Many scientists think that corvids - the family of birds that includes crows, ravens, rooks and jays - just may be among the most intelligent animals on earth. This intelligent rating is based on their ability to solve problems, make tools as well as consider both future events and other individuals' states of mind. In addition to Crows making customize tools, they understand causality, can reason, count up to five and remember human faces.
