!!! ok but thatās legitimately what itās doing!! Thatās a corvid right there (looks like a hooded crow, to be precise), which means itās intelligent enough to recognize, a) cars are dangerous and streets should be treated with a certain degree of caution, b) this carās slowing down for themācars do that sometimesāwhich means theyāre not in imminent danger, so it doesnāt have to fly away just yet, c) that hedgehogās still gonna get killed if it doesnāt MOVE, FAST (cars can change speed very quickly and the hedgehogās still in the way), and almost certainly also d) if the bird does nothing it gets a free lunch.
Yāall, YāALL. 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.Ā
i canāt - look if you follow me you know I have a thing for corvids, but this is - like!!! People are always sayingĀ āah yes they have sub-human intelligence and donāt consider anything that isnāt immediately necessary for their own survival/pleasure,ā but! Whether or not it can do philosophy, this crow is clearly demonstratingĀ compassion. Even if itās just the kind of compassion a toddler shows to a snail, a social creature that instinctively recognizes the potential for emotion in other beings,Ā thatās still huge and coolĀ and importantĀ and corvids!!! are! neat!!!Ā
