Many cities in the world have problems with cigarette butts(烟头)in the streets. They are everywhere. So these cities must clean them. However, it can cost a lot of money.
Now in Sweden, a company called Corvid Cleaning thought of an interesting idea. It made a special box. If the birds put the cigarette butts in it, they will get some delicious food in return.
The birds are crows. “A study shows that crows are as clever as a 7-year-old child. This makes them the cleverest birds for the job. It is easier to teach crows to pick up cigarette butts. And they learn from each other. At the same time, they may not eat any litter by mistake. That’s why we chose them,” Günther-Hanssen, the person who started Corvid Cleaning, said.
Södertälje is a city in Sweden. It usually spent around 2,200,000 on street cleaning every year. Günther-Hanssen said the crows helped save about 75% of the cost this year. He also said that the birds volunteered to do the dirty work.
