I liked them already before the advertising movie of Brandon Lee

So if I train one how to read, it would be able to read twice as fast as me? 🤔
Time for actual Avian Intelligence.
"Read this and give me a summary, and I'll give you this entire package of Austin peanutbutter crackers."
One of my most told animal stories is about a raven who learned to imitate the iOS message notification and used that to prank people. He'd wait in a tree, make the noise when they were close, and then swoop in laughing if they pulled their phone out, extra hard if they dropped it
Anyways that's one of the experiences that proved to me that intelligence or consciousness or w/e is not even close to a uniquely human trait. At this point it seems like an insanely arrogant and foolish assumption to ever have made, see also the impossibility of designing a trash can to keep out smart bears but not dumb humans
we had a mockingbird that one of our neighbors hated. the bird learned what his alarm sounded like. it'd go sit outside his window and scream at him as soon as the sun was up.
this was the same mockingbird that meowed at cats to lure them out of hiding then dive bomb them.
I for one welcome our new crow overlords ❤️
I've wanted to make crow friends in my new city for the last five years. Always been afraid my dog would turn it into me having crow enemies.
Wife said I’m not allowed to feed the friendly neighborhood crows :(
Keep wildlife wild. While you may be kind and careful, not everyone is. Wildlife being comfortable approaching humans frequently ends in their demise.
Time for a new wife.
/s
The crows will provide one, when the time is right
They can't really carry a whole human, that's why they just bring bones. DIY wife I guess.
Sometimes I wonder why avids (corvids) let mammals (us) take over the world. What do they know that we don't.
Ha! Yet another squirrel collaborator plotting with the corvids!
We know what you guys are up to!
This is just birds in general. Animal brains all process time and information differently.
