I wonder what they thought of furbies - Lemmy.world

Any bird who lives primarily in the water is dumb as shit. They have unlimited protection above and around them, so they have zero adaptive pressure to put anything into their intelligence. Land birds have a lot to worry about so their brains adapted near-human levels of intellect.
A land bird flew into my window so hard I was worried it died this morning. This happens once a month to my knowledge and I don’t spend long in my bedroom outside sleeping. Land birds aren’t smart outside of a few select species lol
Wtf. Would you please do something about that?
What do you want him to do, start a bird college?
Are you implying that helping birds avoid windows is an unsolved problem?
Yes. The only solution that we’ve found is to make the window with a “frosting effect,” which humans don’t like because we can’t see through that.
