from the long, stiff narrow leaf of the pandanus tree.When animal psychologist Gavin Hunt analyzed the tools and markings on leaf remnants left behind after the crows had cut away their instruments, he was able to determine if the birds had used their bills to cut the tool from left to right or from right to left. As he reports in this week's journal of Nature, the vast majority of the nearly 4,000 leaves sampled indicated the birds cut much more often from left to right.To Hunt that suggests the birds mostly use their right eyes to guide their work as they carved out their instruments. And he points out activities carried out on the right are usually directed by the left hemisphere of the brain.That scenario rings familiar with people who are predominantly right-handed (and right-eyed and right-legged) and whose language speaking hardware is located in the left side of the brain.
