Greywings Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 NOVA Inside Animal Minds: Bird Genius (HD, Repeat, TV-G) Experts test the intellectual limits of birds that seem to have mastered skills supposedly restricted to humans, such as solving puzzle boxes. Check your local PBS listings for this one. Perhaps people who don't live with a Parrot will learn a tad of respect for Bird Brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) I wish I knew where that phrase ever came from. I get that people who don't live w/them can never even remotely guess the remarkable way their brains work. But, I've never seen anything to justify how the uninformed masses thought any bird was any kind of stupid, either.

SRSeedBurners Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I watched this two nights ago. I did not know that the Corvids (don't remember what island they were studying) show an ability to adapt and learn to create more effective tools - teaching to their young. Pretty amazing.
