Crows and ravens are particularly smart birds, capable of imitative (deceptive) calls, and teamwork in hunting. I have seen three crows herd a pheasant toward a fourth crow who killed it, and then all four ate.
But humour, that's the least expected part of the animal world: horses tell jokes! Some of them are hilarious! Geese play and enjoy life! As you say Robert: it's just not on a linguistic level. This is the part that makes killing them really weird. I'm not vegan but I sure see their point of view. Jesse [snip] > > Animals aren't dumb.
