1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I’m confused – are you asking if humans are bird brained? There are some fascinating studies of tool use in crows (corvids seem to be the geniuses of the bird world), and I love this video of a crow utilizing traffic flow to crack walnuts. And there are the famous studies by Dr Pepperberg with Alex the African Grey (who has since expired). On the other hand, doves seem to be one of the stupidest animals in existence. I guess there’s a wide range. As far as human/orca interactions, did you happen to watch Frozen Planet? The “making of” portion showed some video that seemed to be incredibly risky as far as being in small boats in the midst of hunting behavior by orcas. The videographers seemed to indicate that if the pod was a “fish eating pod”, then they didn’t have to worry about predation. I was dubious.
