and corvids return the favor up the size ladder
i mean on the issue of intelligence: we figured out how to ride horses
how terrifying would it be to see a bunch of eagles on the horizon ridden by crows?
give it a few millennia of evolution...

Makes ya wonder about how we always criticize the non-avian dinosaurs for having had small brains. Maybe theirs were on a par with the avians. Being a large predator, like a t-rex, would require some brain power.the #evolution of any animal is always rewarding any mutation that cuts down on energy use. that will drive smaller more efficient brains like with birds
but us humans are weirdos in that we instead made bigger brains that use a lot of calories, but we used those bigger brains to hack the natural world and deliver us massive amounts of calories
we're the " #AI #dataCenter" model for evolution 🥴

we really are. we're a scourge. we break the natural world's dictum of "use only what you need and save your energy"
we're like "nah we're going to waste like crazy and consume like crazy"
and that fucking worked
...so far

i made an appointment at a hollywood studio
you and i are going to pitch our movie idea together
the pitch is going to be simple:
i say
"planet of the apes"
then you say
"but with birds"
they'll write us a check on the spot for $300 million dollars to make it

@benroyce @qurlyjoe @falseknees Big brains are no fun to fly around with.
Homo Naledi was also getting smaller brains, on their way back into the trees. Perhaps to have faster response times between the branches, who will tell? Too bad that was a dead end as well. -

simians say MORE BRAIN MORE POWER
and it works
but then we reach endgame where we dominate all and there's not much more to consume

We've had bald eagles on our farm for 15 years. Their tree blew down this winter, ruined the nest. I watch them rebuilding, I noticed that the female was in a tree next to the one the new nest was in, she was squawking & screeching at him while he was racing to find the next stick for the nest. Until it was done she never left her perch & she kept up a running dialog for every stick he brought back even rejecting those she didn't like.

@benroyce @falseknees totally agree, but then, two of my 3 key spirit animals are birds (owl and woodpecker) and my IQ is up there in the sky as well, so...

We're giving you a $300k audio budget so we can have drones holding the boom mic. Make sure you get the crows to read their lines properly and for them to stop messing around with the damn improvisation. What is it with crows and the endless mischief making?

@benroyce @oldclumsy_nowmad @leeloo @falseknees I can do that.
