Why do we not lose our respect for wild birda

Answer:
Wild birds are an intricate part of our ecology. They control insects and other animals, they spread seeds through their droppings, pollinate and they even help other animals by picking insects off of them. That’s why cows often have a bunch of them hanging around. All life on this planet is symbiotic. Each animal depends on the other for survival. We even depend on them as a food source.
They are beautiful animals with complex behaviors. 90% of birds are monogamous for at least a nesting season. Which means that one female and one male form a pair bond in order to care for and raise the young. That bond holds for that season even if the eggs in the nest aren’t his and that his eggs are being incubated by another female down the street, along with her mate.
However, there are some birds that mate for life. Black vultures, red-tailed hawks, bald eagles, great horned owls, barn owls, barred owls, swans, geese, pileated woodpeckers, blue jays, albatrosses, mallard ducks, ravens, crows, osprey, whooping cranes, California condors, ostriches, and emus all mate for life. Parrots do as well, and it is said that they form deeper bonds than even we do.
Birds are also crazy intelligent. Parrots are as intelligent as five-year-olds. Crows, ravens, and magpies are considered even smarter than parrots. I learned that early on when our first cat would sneak outside. We couldn’t catch him, but if we heard a bunch of crows cawing, we knew that Clover was trapped under something. All we had to do was get up and open the door and he would rush in.
Crows can complete complex steps in order to get food. One study I saw (and I will post) showed a crow that had to make eight steps in order so he could get a stick long enough to grab a treat. Until Jane Goodall documented chimpanzees using tools to get food, it was once thought that that the big difference between humans and animals was our use of tools. Now it is well known that an animal with a literal bird brain also uses them and can figure out complex problems, including adding stones to water to raise it high enough to drink out of. That is right out of Aesop’s Fables. It makes me wonder if he actually witnessed that. The crow has to figure out that a pebble is heavy enough to make the water rise if he drops it in. That is astounding. Birds are beautiful and fascinating. They are fun to watch and they are cute.
