Crows can solve puzzles that require a sequential series of steps. Would that imply they have sequential memory? I saw someone in the article comments mentioning this as well.

Not sure about crows, but there is this with songbirds:

How would they survive without?

What is “sequential memory” if I may ask a stupid question? (Other than memory that is ordered.. sequentially)

[dbmikus → SanderNL]

I very far from the field of biology, but from the article it means " ability to recognize and recall sequential data".

For crows, I was using it to mean that a crow knows it needs to get tool A so it can get tool B to then use tool B to get the treat.
