Look, who’s talking?
THE popular figure of speech “bird brain” implies someone is daft, foolhardy or scatty. It is a rather sarcastic expression, not only for the person it is being aimed at, but also towards birds in general, since it implies they have no intelligence. And that could not be farther from the truth.
On the intelligence scale, birds rank just below humans. They are regarded by biologists as being one of the most intelligent creatures in the animal kingdom. Not only can they solve complex puzzles, but many have the ability to mimic the human language and other sounds.
