Haha, well, I don't wish to come across as dismissive or overly dogmatic. We do know that Corvids exhibits behaviours that we might call "curiosity" and "play". I'd have to read the primary research source to make a genuinely informed judgement.
Speaking generally, however, one is probably well advised to treat reports of animal intelligence with a healthy dose of skepticism, as we humans do have a tendency to anthropomorphise!
If you need any convincing of that, consider the classic cautionary tale of Hans the clever horse.
