nocturnalvisionary:smallqueerinabigsweater:moniquill:spacedyke:fangirling-so-hard-rn:nowyoukno:Now You Know (Source)Crows are scaryTheyuse toolsCan be taught to speak (like parrots)Have huge brains for birdslike seriously their brain-to-body size ratio is equal to that of a chimpanzeeThey vocalize anger, sadness, or happiness in response to thingsthey are scary smart at solving puzzlessome ravens stay with their mates until one of them diesthey can remember facesSIDENOTE HERE BECAUSE HOLY SHIT. They did an experiment where these guys wore masks and some of them fucked with crows. Pretty soon the crows recognized the masks = douchebag. But the nice guys with masks they left alone. THEN, OH WE’RE NOT DONE, NO SIR crows that WEREN’T EVEN IN THE EXPERIMENT AND NEVER SAW THE MASK BEFORE knew about mask-dudes and attacked them on sight. THEY PASSED ON THE FUCKING INFORMATION TO THEIR CROW BUDDIES.They remember places where crows were killed by farmers and change their migration patterns.Guys I’m really scared of crows now.(q) The experiment goes further than that - the KIDS of the PARENTS WHO SAW THE CREEPY DOUCHEBAG MASKED GUYTHE KIDSFLIPPED THEIR SHITAT THE MASKED DUDE. BUT NOT WHEN HE WASN’T LOOKING LIKE MASKED CREEPY DUDE. THEY FUCKING PASSED THAT INFORMATION ON TO THEIR CHILDRENWhat I don’t understand is why so many people express -fear- at the fact that animals are, in some ways, possibly just as intelligent as humans (intelligence being a thing that humans invented to describe ourselves, funny that…)If anything it makes me want to go out and earn the respect of some crows, not be afraid of them forever. I find fear a weird response to another species’ intelligence. A LOT of animals are a lot more intelligent and further advanced than we originally thought and it’s because we finally started giving a shit about things other than ourselves. I don’t really find it all that scary, why would we? Why is anything rivaling our advancements scary to us? Because we are afraid they will treat us like we treat them.so the point of this post is that people are terrifying im down with that -- source link
