You heard of bird brain, it refers to someone who is stupid.
I feed the birds suet and bird seed. Black oil sunflower seed is the most nutritious of all. There was a creek next to my house. I cut a piece of plywood 2 ft x 2 ft and mounted it to a post. The post was 6 ft off the ground. I put a large raw chicken leg on the feeding board. A vulture flew in with his 6ft wingspan and grabbed the leg and flew off with another vulture after him. The 2nd vulture jarred the leg from vulture 1 and it fell to the ground. The 2nd day, the same thing happened. The 3rd day, the vulture figured it out. He landed on the platform and spread his wings out and then ate the leg on the platform. 2 vultures could not fit on the platform at the same time. By keeping his wings outstretched , he was able to eat in peace. No other bird tried to land on the platform, he had it blocked perfectly.. That was 1 smart bird! So yes, birds can learn just like humans. So there is hope for us.
