Abstract Reported herein is the behavior of an American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) that was photographed dunking and paddling a cracker in a birdbath. It is reasonable to assert that the birdbath's water was used to moisten and/or soften the hard and dry cracker prior to consumption. Additionally, this problem-solving behavior appears to have been premeditated, given how deliberate the crow was with each step of its behavior.
