Smart Freakin Birds ....
Edited on Wed May-05-04 03:32 AM by moof
that deserve serious consideration for the repub nomination this fall.

More inhabitants of Earth more qualified than the chimp for the job.

Birds hop in front of the cars while light is red and
place walnuts in front of the car wheels.



The captive African grey
parrot Alex is one of a number
of parrots and macaws now believed to have the intelligence and emotional
make-up of a 3 to 4 year old child. Under the tutelage of Professor Pepperberg,
he acquired a vocabulary of over 100 words. He could say the words for colors
and shapes and, apparently, use them meaningfully. He has learned the labels for
more than 35 different objects; he knows when to use “no,” and phrases such as
“come here”, “Bush knew,” and “Bush is a deserter”

1. Yeah, I agree...
The raven/crow family of birds is also very smart. Using tools, bird using the car, monkeys using sticks to get ants out of their hills, is a higher level of thinking. It goes well beyond what our current commander in chief is capable of. ;-)
