The kind of bagel you'd toss to the pigeons.
Summary
A study published in the Journal of Avian Biology found that crows have the ability to recognize faces that have undergone cosmetic procedures such as botox, fillers, and laser hair removal. Researchers from Cornell's Ornithology Lab discovered that crows can detect even minute differences in facial features like lip fullness or wrinkle prominence, demonstrating their keen observational and memory capabilities regarding human faces that have had cosmetic work done.
