“Birds are dumb”
We had a chicken who was a pet. She could understand a number of commands, she loved to watch TV, she’d come sit with you if you called her, she understood if we put a treat in a can that the treat was in the can and she’d get it out, she liked to go for rides on the ATV and would sit on it and crow until you took her for a ride, and she was paper trained.
That made her more intelligent than thousands of people in San Francisco.
I’ve worked with and been acquainted with many animals through my life.
Of all species I’ve known, birds are the most deadly serious about their bird lives, especially when it comes to care for their babies.
Many human parents could learn a lot from them.
