I've seen crows heaving fun earlier. In the mountains I saw two crows hovering on the strong air current (without flapping their wings) just half a meter above the sloped ground cawing loudly. All this for significant period of time for no apparent reason other than just to enjoy themselves.

This one also looks like he's having fun. I don't understand why using lid as a sled is so unbelievable. Some dogs use skateboards to have fun.

It's not unbelievable at all. I think animals can have loads of fun and crows are awesome. But in this video I see a hungry poor bird, desperate to find some food. It has nothing to do with if crows are intelligent or can have fun, I'm talking about the video.
