Pioneers in avian intelligence have found that although birds brains are very small, they are incredibly intelligent, and sometimes have surprising similarities to the behavior or brain functions of humans. Examples range from the cockatoo who was the first animal documented to dance to a beat to Irene Pepperbergs in-depth studies done with the African grey parrot Alex (named for Avian Learning EXperiment).Laudato, 2010 2334Pepperberg, 1999 2298 There have even been studies documenting that some birds successfully use, and even modify or build, tools.Bird, 2009 2318Holzhaider, 2011 2314von Bayern, 2009 2316 Y, dXiJ(x( I_TS 1EZBmU/xYy5g/GMGeD3Vqq8K)fw9 xrxwrTZaGy8IjbRcXI u3KGnD1NIBs

    Amazing Crows And Ravens Analysis

    Krautwurst uses words such as “smart”, “perceptive”, and “exceedingly resourceful” to highlight the birds’ unique abilities. In other words, the birds are clever and proficient problem solvers. This shows Terry’s positive tone because he uses admiring language to praise the birds. Krautwurst refers to the crows and ravens as “eggheads of the bird world.” This means that the birds are highly intelligent, this characteristic sets the birds apart from other animals. This supports the author's’ positive attitude by emphasizing one of the distinct qualities of the crows and ravens. By using admiring terms and describing the birds unique abilities, Terry Krautwurst reveals his positive attitude towards the crows and…

    Capuchin Monkeys

    For example, wild tufted capuchin monkeys are capable of using tools to open up fruits, the husks cannot open in it’s teeth or jaws so therefore, they use tools to smash them open (Gron, 2009). They have been observed in utilizing a stick to club a snake and shells to crack open oysters as well as other insects. The capuchin monkeys’ ability to use and modify the sticks as probes, and stone and bone fragments as cutting and nut-cracking instruments without any training nor human demonstration is extremely surprising, however possible (Westergaard, 1995). Usually managing to grasp and understand the method of handling a tool to do certain things, takes years to figure out for primates however, with this ability by the capuchin monkeys, they have a high level of…

    How Did Richard Dawkins Refute Creationism?

    Mash pointed out that black-headed gulls would consider a black wooden model as a real gulls, yet it is only a wooden rod without any body, legs, wings or tail. Dawkins’s teacher, Tinbergen found out that stickleback fish mistakenly thought a red mail van and a silvery dummy were their same species! By citing these two experiments, Dawkins gives adequate evidence to prove that limited intelligence and eyesight suggest that organisms do not have to be “perfect” to work and that they can be easily fooled. Instead, most of the animals judge whether an object is their same kind by only one or few characteristics.…

    The Symbolism of Birds in Z.Z. Packer’s The Ant of the Self

    Upon Ray Bivens Jr.’s forceful capture and caging of a colorful menagerie of African birds from his ex-girlfriend’s house, similarities between Spurgeon and the birds become apparent. These similarities are not accidental, nor are they surprising. Birds are often used as a symbol for humans not only because they possess great physical and behavioral human resemblance, but also because we believe that we are able interpret their thoughts. Birds lend themselves to becoming symbols because “they seem so like us in many ways” (Mynott 282). Mynott clarifies his statement that birds are “like us” by explaining that birds “have roundish heads with two eyes in front” and engage in behavior to which we believe we can relate (282). Mynott also acknowledges that birds can be bipedal. Because of these anthropoid physical traits and relatable behaviors, we are led to believe that birds experience feelings and emotions which are…

    Toddlers Observation

    While observing a 20 month old girl, it was evident that she was able to move her body to the music that was playing with the activity that focused on being different animals. For example, she flapped her arms up and down to symbolize that she was a bird. She began to "fly" faster when the music became faster as well. One strength that was evident was her involvement within the group with other children. While she was hopping like…

    Judicial Restraint Analysis

    Definition of judicial restraint, mention Marbury V Madison (1803). Set out argument strict constructionists argue that the SC should stick to the original intentions of the FF whilst loose constructionists argue that the SC must reinterpret the Constitution in order to move with the times and bring it up-to-date. Judicial restraint has an impact on many members of US society that are not protected under the original Constitution. Main- All decisions whether restrained or activist have huge political significance. E.g. abortion, Rights of African Americans, etc. If restrained, the court can turn away cases and choose not to even hear them. The SC can pick and choose (they only choose between 90-100 cases to hear a year). Liberals argue…

    change of heart

    Did you know that animals and humans have lots of things alike? Kangaroos carry babies just like mothers carry their babies too. Tigers have to teach their babies how to hunt and humans have to teach their babies how to walk and talk. Birds have to break down their babies’ food, just like our mothers have to start feeding us little by little. Rifkin in his article “A Change of Heart about Animals” offers some compelling evidence that humans and animals share lots of things, but not all of his example are convincing. Just how humans use tools wisely Rifkin shows and explains how animals use tools, one of that is how birds can create their own tools and put them to use. Birds are very smart and very creative. They can make their nest almost out of anything they find. Birds’ main tool is their beak because it can be used for lots of different things, such as getting food from small places or materials for their nest. Rifkin shows an example of two crows that can make and use tools from that example you can see that humans aren’t the only ones who make and use tools. Animals have to teach their babies lessons on life. Mothers have to teach their babies everything, just how geese have to teach their baby goslings their migration routes. Rifkin used all the examples he could to prove that he has a point. He used a study that started “creatures behave by their instincts and what appeared to be learned behavior was genetically wired activity.” He means that learning is passed from parent to children, so by that it explains how something has to be taught to someone in order to be done. For example if a parent doesn’t teach his/her children how to walk the child will struggle. Rifkin wants his…

    A Change of Heart About Animals

    Researchers were amazed more recently, with the discovery of the extent to which New Caledonian crows, attain conceptual abilities, Jeremy Rifkin said “In controlled experiments, scientists at Oxford University reported that two birds named Betty and Abel were given a choice between using two tools, one a straight wire, the other a hooked wire, to snag a piece of meat from inside a tube.” Self-awareness is another aspect, which raises the question of whether these animals’ inferiority affects their mentality.…
