On The Intelligence Of Little Balls Of Feathers
There's a sparrow outside my window. It's standing next to one of our yard's plants of some sort; I'm not a botanist, so I'm not sure what it is.
The sparrow has now taken the end of a very thin branch in its beak.
*shooka* *shooka* *shooka*
With a vigorous shake of the head, the sparrow throws quite a few seeds and other edible bits free, which it proceeds to collect and eat.
Cool. We have sparrows who have learned how to gather seed more effectively than one grain at a time.
