Actually very true. They are among the smartest of animals. Yes Poetic, especially crows. Though you're right chickens don't seem too bright.Quote:
10. Birds are actually really rather clever.
Actually there is at least one documented case of crows being able to imitate human speech. :nod:
Birds from the family Corvis I think it is are supposedly the smartest birds of the lot and probably smarter than most apes ( are chimps apes?) :confused:
I can see the page I read this off in my mind word for word I just can't rember where it was I read it, it will come to me though.
Crows imitating human speech?
Impossible!
I read about crows imitating human speech in a magazine that I found in a doctor's waiting room when I was like, eleven. It stuck with me because of how cool it is. I think some hikers somewhere discovered them.
I'm pretty sure chimps are classified as apes, and so are their promiscuous cousins the bonobos (which I think are sweet).
What do you mean its humans who have been imitating crows all these years? :eek2:Quote:
