for the loss of teeth my theory is that they lost them for beaks because beaks are more maliable and lighter. also teeth require blood supply so less blood vessels allow for less heat loss. so beaks allow them to be more aerodynamic, lighter, have a more maliable mouth, and retain more heat.

I dont really see an answer to the first question. Yes, pigeons can orient very well but how do they know where exactly they need to be oriented to? What draws them to a certain place? How can I -explain-, so to speak, the destination address to the pigeon?

today we know ducks have blind alleys where a male forcing a female duck on -mating- will result on the sperm being basically deleted at will if she doesnt want to carry offsprings
thats something we humans should have if you think about it

Maybe he can answer why geese are so vicious. Sometimes they're fine and they ignore people, but I've seen geese attack people and they seemingly don't stop until you're able to get away or one of you is dead.

I definitely enjoy birds a little bit more now! Crazy how I had no interest in them, but this video made me suddenly very curious (and even though normally I have hard time focusing, I didn't stop even once)

Of all my favorite bird sounds, I didn't think anything could top a mourning dove's call. but Sahas saying -bird- may have just taken first place. My heart is about to explode. :)

In regards to the tool use thing - I have seen my own conures pick up their dropped feathers with their feet and use them to scratch themselves. It's kind of funny to watch!

I find it disappointed that you can go -birding- in English but that has nothing to do with acting like a bird. It sounds like it should mean larping as birds

Okay after that experience now I-m a little terrified because I realize that all birds are a little smarter than I gave them credit for -

more on birds and tool use: there are raptors who utilize forest fires (and spreading the flames using twigs) to flush out prey!
