For example: the tale (which I cannot corroborate right now, but which I
completely believe) of the crow that would get a nut, fly to an
intersection, wait for the lights to turn red, drop the nut in front of
a car tyre, fly to the side of the road, wait for the cycle from red to
green and back to red, and then pick up the pieces of the nut from off
the roadway.

That'd be the one. Some details were wrong in my original synopsis,
I'll freely grant, but the essence was definitely there. Fascinating
stuff.
