!!! ok but thatâs legitimately what itâs doing!! Thatâs a corvid right there (looks like a hooded crow, to be precise), which means itâs intelligent enough to recognize, a) cars are dangerous and streets should be treated with a certain degree of caution, b) this carâs slowing down for themâcars do that sometimesâwhich means theyâre not in imminent danger, so it doesnât have to fly away just yet, c) that hedgehogâs still gonna get killed if it doesnât MOVE, FAST (cars can change speed very quickly and the hedgehogâs still in the way), and almost certainly also d) if the bird does nothing it gets a free lunch.
Yâall, YâALL. This bird is consciously deciding to put itself in danger in order to save the life of a very stupid creature. A creature which, if the bird did nothing, could be free food.Â
i canât - look if you follow me you know I have a thing for corvids, but this is - like!!! People are always saying âah yes they have sub-human intelligence and donât consider anything that isnât immediately necessary for their own survival/pleasure,â but! Whether or not it can do philosophy, this crow is clearly demonstrating compassion. Even if itâs just the kind of compassion a toddler shows to a snail, a social creature that instinctively recognizes the potential for emotion in other beings, thatâs still huge and cool and important and corvids!!! are! neat!!!Â
