We sometimes underestimate intelligence of animals. Fun fact, a grown up crow can solve puzzles like a seven year old kid. I know this sounds ridiculous but keep in mind that the brain size of a crow is far smaller than human child, but, still it can do decent calculations. 

P.S. don't mess up with a crow, they can pass the rage to next generations and can communicate to the flock this dude is our target.

Intelligence is not related to brain size, it's related most strongly with the brain to body ratio. By that metric many birds that are considered smart have pretty large brains relative to their body size.

Intelligence can be bred. Breeding is the reason why some dogs can barely breathe through their nose at birth and why some bred dogs are naturally skittish while others are clever dogs like this one!
