Birds have impressive cognitive abilities and show a high level of intelligence. Compared to mammals of about the same size, the brains of birds also contain many more neurons. Wow!

And how about they way different birds land?

Crows, jays both hope when landing and taking off as opposed to robins, quail, turkeys who I observe running before flying or landing.

I am not an ornithologist, obviously.
