We severely underestimate the animal kingdom

Must be MAGATS.

This is amazing.

Unbelievable! I had no idea they were THAT smart.

😳🤯😎

It really makes you wonder what they think of us. Humans as food hoarders? Humans as food overlords? Or just food sources?

They look very similar to our European starlings, they are super smart!

Smart corvids

So, when someone calls you a bird brain. Take it as a compliment 🤣

I have owned birds for years and years. They are so so so smart. I know rent them outside. Ask me about the crows in Portland. They are the best. (I acknowledge not all Portlanders feel this way)

Probably saw Trump with a tea bag on his ear.

These drama queens deserve an Oscar! 👑

Woah! This is dramatic!

Sounds perfect! Especially among the Corvids (blackbirds, etc.) and the Psittacines (parrots, etc.).

🤣 Wow! Who knew?! They are good actors! 😂💙

So insurance fraud, got it.

i know people like that. ... we never expect that. BUT these are birds not humans and are clever and ingenious.

Oh my goodness, they’re hilarious and so clever!

“Are they looking? Okay, good.” BLARGH. 😵🥴

i thought the football players (not U.S) were bad

We Love Our Birds

Birds are so smart! I love watching them do complicated tasks and understanding things. They are so cute!

Very good. Thanks for the giggles

Little feathered scam artists! 😂

Get out of here! You're not injured! I am!

Birds are very smart.

That is so naughty.

💀🤣

Amazing.

Smarter than the avg. MAGA voter.

lol

omg! 😂

That’s hysterical! Amazing, but also hysterical.

🥴😅

This is incredible. I knew they were smart, but this is wild.

it certainly is strange behavior. But.. "These birds saw someone feeding a wounded bird". Doubtful.

I feed crows sometimes, one of them faked a limp as if I wasn't throwing out a ton of cashews lmao

These birds are so intelligent, it makes me think that when we hear them making all that racket in the trees, they're actually laughing at how stupid mankind is. 😊

Drama queens

😆

The inspiration

If you can't beat 'em

Survival of the fittest?

Too funny!!

So cool!

Natures is so intelligent ( more than given credit for) and the adaptability can be astoundingly hilarious

😆 🐦

This is why the Republican birds tried to keep all the bird feeders to themselves....

Grifters🤔?…..😂!

too funny!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love the one that chases the other bird away and then melodramatically re-splays out while feigning gasping.

Without human intervention, birds would be terrible actors. Love how their beaks are always open for handouts.

Smart birds.

😆

Over actors! Lol

I needed that pun tonight

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Some birds fake being injured when someone troda too close to their nests. I've seen this behavior, and this appears similar to that.

Humans are losing the intelligence game.

I would fall for that every time.

3/ paw pads being trimmed counted as such a terrible injury that they needed to call Sam Bernstein for compensation. Also, did you know that cookies, pets, and fake sympathy are miracle cures? Turns out that dogs don't care when you snicker through it either. The file was tagged with DRAMA QUEEN 😂

I said *most* humans.

My Mom’s poodle did this. When he was in trouble, he would immediately start limping. 😂

Birds were Dino’s once. They survived the Meteor Extinction Event! Long term smarts!

Brilliant! There actually are very gifted actors in the bird population. Wonderful news!!! :)

Oh my gosh! I am crying laughing at these clever birds. 😂😂

🤣 I love the one guy who breaks character briefly to be all “GTF outta here, Hollywood!!!”, to the newcomer.

Imagine birds that are smarter than the prez. Who knew?

😅

Evolutionary pressure for cuteness.

Feed the babies!

These guys are scary smart...

Amazing. Did you help the poor actually injured bird?

Lol!!

I have birds, parrots. Trust me when I say they are extremely intelligent, all birds!!

They are so smart.

Whoa.....lol!

Wow, they are actually smarter than MAGA!

Me...

The miracle cure when another bird shows up!! 😂

WOW! Thanks for this amazing post.

Waiting for Old Faithful at Yellowstone this fall I saw a bird fly in and walk around teh walk way feigning injury trying to get food. I was like "seriously ,I just watched you fly in, your wing isn't hurt"

Those are Shakespeare birds.. they got the death scene nailed down🎭 😵

Ha

I have never seen that!!

Velociraptor instincts

hahaha That's unbelievable!

Too funny...whether sunning or pretending to be hurt. They know what they're doing lol.

🤭

I have starlings who start to sing and gather whenever they see my long white hair peak out of my door!🤣💦They let me know they would sing for their supper!🙋🏼‍♀️💦🙏🏻💙🇺🇸

Birds are great at mimicry.

@falseknees.bsky.social

Must be Republicans. Con birds.

What a great video! We published Belinda Recio's "Inside Animal Hearts and Minds" because we think people should know about how smart animals are! Lovingly narrated by Hayden Panetteire, this audiobook is great for the whole family. posthypnoticpress.com/product/insi...

WOW!!!

Just like my sister....

See B F Skinner's book 'Superstition in Pigeons'. Whilst these images could be something else (someone stated 'sunning' I believe) speedy behavioural changes to environment can occur particularly when food is concerned.

Wow this is totally hysterical … Laughing so hard I’m crying

Birds like: I'm wounded! Bird 2: No, I'M wounded! Bird 3: I've been dead for FIVE DAYS!

No way

🤣🤣✊

Drama queens.

😂😂😂😂 Great video

Not gonna lie, I’m terrified of these clever buggers.

birds are such arseholes.

May is when most bird are starving from winter. Please feed the birds

"Get the fuck out of here Linda. Go pretend to be fucked up somewhere else!"

Jokes on the humans, the first bird was faking too

I like how the one boots the other one that tried to "work their corner".

Let’s make one of those birds the president.

🪶🪶🪶 😂😂😂 Smart & getting smarter!!! 🧠🧠🧠

Neymar birbs!

They've been treated very unfairly. A taxpayer fund should be established 😆

@chantingcrow 🤣

Too funny they’re actually so smart🤣

Oh my goodness!
