Well well well! thats interesting to read!our avian friends are indeed smart. but i wonder why is a bird brain person regarded as silly or stupid ?

I’m not surprised. Dogs store food. Some birds use tools (stones) to break tough nuts. A snake fakes death to discourage predators. Dolphins can sense a catastrophe. An octopus can work its way around a maze to find food. Humans, I feel, are the least intelligent of all (comparatively), considering the fact that we are the only animals with reasoning power.

Survival instincts! What else? Completely agree with the research and great find of all the survival reactions Alpheus!

Very true Somya! A case of ’survival of the most intelligent’. Ironically, the homo sapien, considered the most intelligent, is the one struggling to survive. He is further compounding his problems by abusing the environment that he feeds off.
