Very cool!

Seriously, how long before they organize and take us out ?

very cool indeed, and if they do try and take us out, i'll ask them if they can give me wings, i'd sure love to fly!

 

[G.T]

Very interesting. 👍

I heard they do this a year or so ago, but never saw the video to it.

Meh... I figured out how to do that along time ago.

Smart. 👍

But then again, I already knew they were that smart. My older cockatoo figured out how to open his cage from the inside. He then taught our younger cockatoo how to do it as well.

My macaw took apart the key lock on his old cage. From the inside.

Birds are incredibly smart. Crows especially.

They once did a test with a crow on how it uses tools. They gave it a long thin piece of wire with a hook on the end, and the crow used it to fish food out of a deep jar. Very smart animals.

maybe pre-emptive strike is in order?

I remember watching this on TV a while back. The wire was initially straight, the crow then bent it into a hook to fish out the food. I knew crows were smart, but seeing this completely blew my mind.

EDIT: Found the clip:



Another one (not a crow, but still cool as hell):

I've seen a video of a bird on a jetty looking into the water. It then picks up a scrap of food (of some description) that was lying on the jetty, throws it into the water, a fish comes up to eat the food, and the birds grabs and eats the fish. Now, that's clever.

Hey cool, I'm psychic.

That's the one! How did you do that?

I always thought that dinosaurs were smart, so hearing about smart "living dinosaurs" (i.e. birds) is not a massive shock - just a pleasant surprise to see it with my own eyes... thanks for the vid 👍

I'm scared. Hold me.

I've read that crow-thingy some time ago, when I was 10, in our school-book. I've always wanted to see crows do that "in-action", but the crows over heren't that common...

👍 I'm in awe. Particularly of that bird that fishes.

 

[High-Test]

That's amazing... And the fishing bird has better luck in one try than most humans do all day.

N'kisi is smarter than 1/3 of my school's Junior class combined.

 

[Touring Mars]

I have to say that I'm not overly impressed with the rest of the stuff on the site where you can listen to N'Kisi (allegedly) speaking... the latest research from the same people suggests that not only can the parrot speak, but it is psychic too...

Thats awesome, I used to own two very tame budgies that would unlock there cage from the inside and slide open the door on their cage and fly around the house and then retreat back to there cage when they were tired and procede slide the door closed and lock it back up from the inside. They will be missed.
