And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The intelligence level here is surprising, to say the least
"Modern materialism has institutionalized the dogma of 'pure instinct,' demoting non-human life to mere automated biology. This reductionist view is not objective science; rather, it serves to rationalize our exploitation of creation while systematically blinding us to the divine order and intelligence woven into every living being."
I had a bunch of ravens be able to recognize my car and wait for me at the beach. I'd feed them pieces of hot dog and they would follow me. I'd outsmart the sea gulls by throwing a small rick in one direction, and then the hot dog piece in the other. The ravens would play around me, flying along the cliff edges doing barrel rolls. Very smart birds.
I feed the crows peanuts and they chase off the hawks that go after wild rabbits in my back yard. If I forget they will leave a shell on front steps to remind me and they don't poop on our black cars anymore.
Crows have esp. In my many years in the outdoors, I've killed 1. And he was close to 200yds away. Spread his wings to escape just as the bullet arrived. Magpies are close to the same, but not to the level crows are.
Many people don’t know the difference between a row and a raven. Both are birds, both are black, both are very intelligent. Ravens tend to be larger than crows. The most important difference is in their wings. A raven has 13 major feathers called pinion feathers. A crow has 12. So the difference between a raven and a crow is a matter of a pinion. Boom! Tish!
...also won't vote for the democrats....
ReplyDeleteMarsha Blackburn, Tommy Tuberville and James Comer are still trying to figure out how that bird was able to reach the treat
DeleteOnly a bird brain could look at today’s leadership and think things are going well
DeleteOnly a bird brain would view that Gif and think politics.
DeleteSo Aesop was at least as smart as a crow.
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of Aesop when I saw the vid.

DeleteDidactic Marxism
DeleteBaloney. materialism has NOT institutionalized the dogma of pure instinct. Very few humans regard animals as automatons. Who writes this tripe?

ReplyDeleteNot all that surprising if you've ever spent any time watching crows. They are the Einsteins of the avian world.
ReplyDeleteSmarter than some of my neighbors.
