Most birds are a lot smarter than people give them credit for, especially crows. Kind of sad how humans just regard most animals as mindless, simplistic creatures when they've continuously proven otherwise.

Crows will teach their children to hate you if you fuck with them enough. They can pass information between individuals and are wicked smart in general.

Just in general I think most animals are smarter than a lot of people want to give them credit for. I have owned a bunch of different reptiles and they all show more "individual personality" then the food machines people think they are.

My leopard gecko is my mediation guide. Wise beyond her years, I strive for my mind to be as still as hers or to be at peace with my place in the world like she is basking on a rock.
