  • Pretty amazing stuff. I think that as we learn more about animal behavior we may realize that humans are not the only intelligent beings around!

  • I can't even do that.

  • I used to own one, I named him, "Picky." I trained him to pick the crabs off my pubes. Boy letme tellya, as much as I used to get around, he never went hungry! And he would know weeks before I did, that I even had them..Smart smart birds. He must have been able to hear them crawling or something. Heck I don't know, maybe he communicated with them telepathically and they had some kind of an arrangement. Crow/Crab politics. You know how that shit goes.

  • Imagine if they had had the historical luck and endowment of opposable digits from their ancestors

  • these animals have a language almost as sophisticated as some of our own, and because they have four fingers per foot, they will likely develop a binary numeric system, and create computers hundred of years faster than we did.

  • @spotdvm11 you come back to me when an animal develops the internet 2.0

  • Wow, intelligent bird. He treats the twig just like a fork and has no struggle with it all

  • real smart)
