    I don’t know that I’d trust an ornathologist to know how the brain chemistry works. But I do trust that they’re dumb. Lacking memory isn’t predictive of being dumb, but there’s probably some correlation. Maybe seagulls have perfect memory but just want to flip human observers the bird.

      Ornithologists do actual science, they aren’t just bird watchers. An ornithologist is pretty much the only one I would trust about this because they are the ones studying the birds.

          Idk bird lawyers probably don’t deal with birds at their smartest. Human lawyers likely don’t think we’re intelligent life either

          Idk man, bird law in this country is not governed by reason. Hard to find an attorney you can trust too know their shit

          Idk man, I wouldn’t trust those guys. I think some of them are being paid off by the government to defend the position that birds are real. Crazy stuff, I know.
