If the land birds get any smarter they're going to have to start worrying about a whole lot more. Like taxes, or rent.

I mean some birds have been shown exchanging money for goods and services, so it's not that far off.

Oh god no, someone needs to warn the birds about capitalism.

Birds are very good at stealing things, so I think it's too late for that

Stealing requires the belief that other people can own things. They are simply taking what is rightfully theirs. Birds are billionaires.
