One of my most told animal stories is about a raven who learned to imitate the iOS message notification and used that to prank people. He’d wait in a tree, make the noise when they were close, and then swoop in laughing if they pulled their phone out, extra hard if they dropped it
Anyways that’s one of the experiences that proved to me that intelligence or consciousness or w/e is not even close to a uniquely human trait. At this point it seems like an insanely arrogant and foolish assumption to ever have made, see also the impossibility of designing a trash can to keep out smart bears but not dumb humans
we had a mockingbird that one of our neighbors hated. the bird learned what his alarm sounded like. it’d go sit outside his window and scream at him as soon as the sun was up.
this was the same mockingbird that meowed at cats to lure them out of hiding then dive bomb them.
I wonder what he did lol
