The baby quail was just a little bigger than his thumbnail, and he successfully raised it to adulthood. And then, look at this–a whole platoon of little tiny quail! And it seems they really like their human.
A little glimpse of paradise.
Turkey and crow argue over what appears to be a little piece of bread. Suddenly the turkey seems to give up his claim of ownership. What’s going on here? Did the birds negotiate this deal? They may be sharper than we thought.
Just how do you go about getting a crow in your house? That’s the hard part: taming the crow and teaching it to talk, that’s the easy part. I wonder if a crow could learn to answer the phone.
Tasty nut hidden under the stones: can the crow get at it? Crows are pretty smart, and this one’s very determined, too.
That odd sound you hear at the end of the video is the crow’s victory song.
Crows are smart. Give one a gift-wrapped package, and he’ll figure it out. Up to a point.
“Hey! You put the treats inside this plastic thing! You think it’s easy, unwrapping a package when you don’t have hands? All that work–and my treats are locked inside this lousy puzzle?” (Getting smarter already…)
I’ve never had a pet bird, but some of these videos make me wish I’d had. Really, what goes on inside a bird’s brain? Domestication really brings out their intelligence. But then it does that for lizards and turtles, too.
Boy howdy, it’s hot today! And now that I’ve seen this video.I am sooo glad I’ve never offered baby corn to blue jays.It turns them into squabbling baby birds. I mean, really–how long can flesh and blood stand to listen to this?
Apparently blue jays don’t like the finch food that I put in our feeder. Well, if this is what you get for catering to blue jays, you can count me out.
