I also hadn't heard of recursion. One lives and learns!
You both mentioned "nesting" in a literal sense. But nesting is also a term used in computer coding (e.g. html coding). It means putting a pair of marks within a different pair. Here's a simple example, where b start and b end are nested inside p start and p end. (p is for paragraph and b is for bold). One tiny error and the whole code doesn't work properly:

Why do I mention this? Because the skills involved in nesting entail a logical mind and attention to detail, not just fitting something within something else. This is precisely what crows display.

Crows are amazing creatures.
