Birds Know Who We Are
Robin Lloyd, LiveScience: Birds used to just fly around and amuse us, but in recent years, biologists are learning that our feathered friends are quite smart.
Their songs are incredibly complex communications that scientists are just beginning to decode. Crows are great toolmakers and learners.
Birds can follow our gaze. And at least one cockatoo and a grey parrot can dance, though their rhythm is suspect.
Now it looks like mockingbirds are capable of recognizing humans who make repeat visits to the birds’ nests, according to research by Doug Levey at the University of Florida.
