I once saw a crow look both ways before walking across the street and I thought “Wow. What a dumbass, he could just fly over it and not have to worry about cars.”
Cool. I have seen wild turkeys do this and in a crosswalk. It is really cool.
I have not seen them using the button to request the “walking man” yet.
Do you think they might use the button sooner if the symbol was a walking turkey?
I bet a crow would know what to do with that information.
You’re supposed to reevaluate brain size as a measure of intelligence. The expression “bird brain” is so outdated we need to stop using it. Bird neurons are significantly smaller than ours, so they can fit a lot more brain in a smaller volume.
While you’re at it, you should probably reevaluate everything about intelligence and memory because apparently jellyfish have memories despite having no brain or ganglia of any kind.
I’m not an older sibling in a 90s-era kids sitcom, so I haven’t used the phrase “bird-brain” in decades…
Not only that, corvids understand the concept of zero fucks given.
It’s only the beginning. Then they will get negative numbers, integers, reals, you name it
