Bird brain
Hi,
A bird has intelligence ?
Common sense, cow sense, pea brain, bird sense, bird brain, with all these assets being named, which would be the best bet to get a hard nut cracked without tools to eat its kernel ? Common sense there is plenty, cow sense ah ha ha what is it, pea brain is too small to function, but bird brain, yes this one does work. And it would be the best bet that a bird brain will crack a hard nut without tools so as to eat its kernel. Seeing is believing and it has been seen !
It has been said that only human beings have intelligence, but a bird brain does seem to have something like that.
There was this crow on a telegraph wire holding a walnut in its beak. It dropped the nut onto the macadam road and watched as the vehicles drove over it. How the crow knew that the nut would be cracked open by the vehicle's wheels who can explain, but that was how the event unfolded. And it was so easy for the crow to swoop down for its meal.
And if anyone says that that was a fluky knowledge there is something else to know. When the traffic was heavy it was quite dangerous for the crow to eat there. But it also had the bird sense to watch out for the traffic, hopping away and coming back, and picked the pieces of the nut. And this bird brain did not stop functioning from just that. It also knew where to drop the nut where it would be safer. It would drop the nut onto a pedestrian crossing and then wait for the traffic to stop while the pedestrians cross and pick its food without danger and at leisure.
It was only a creature with a bird brain, nonetheless it worked ! Perhaps the crow learned all this by observation, but it could make use of it.
There was this story of a man who went to see a soothsayer. The seer predicted that he would not die unless a house fell on his head. Being thus forewarned, the man went to live on the hillside, away from any dwellings. He felt very secured and slept peacefully. But nevertheless he died because a house did fall on his head. An eagle mistook his bald pate for a shiny stone and dropped a tortoise, a creature in its house, onto it.
Ha ha ha ha ! Bird brain human brain, ha ha ha ha !
Have a nice day
