I want the goose that laid the golden egg! :wish:




... and I promise to not kill it!

Fascinating! It's amazing how smart animals are, isn't it?

Almost as amazing as how dumb people are. :nod:

Corvids, the group of birds including crows, magpies and such, are wonderful problem solvers and may be smarter than monkeys and dogs.

Actually look more like a Starling ?

Themi01, don't be fooled by the colour of the bird.

Look at the beak of the crow/raven/magpie and you will see a powerful multi-purpose tool. The starling's beak is a slender insectivore bill, able to dig into insect holes etc.

I am sure there are a lot at pixies that could get a worm up. :nod:

Yes, but not generally over Aesop.

AHH yes I see that now and actually the local Crows are usually bigger birds than Starlings
