Now why can't humans act like that
Now, why can't humans act like that?
Some years ago, I was sitting my vehicle waiting for others to arrive and noticed a small packet of french fries that had been tossed in the street. Yes, this was before they biggie sized everything.
There was a number of starling birds in a circle around the fries. Every now and then one would jump forward and grab a fry then fly off. They would get maybe 3 to 6 feet away when all the other starlings would attack. The fry would get dropped and he would fly a ways then circle back to the group and wait with the rest for the next bird to go for a fry. They continued this until there were no more frys left in the packet. From the packet there was a circle of dropped fries maybe 4 to 6 feet out. The game was over and no fries eaten.
Years later at another location there were a mix of birds eating potato chip crumbs that were tossed out on the ground. Though there were pigeons, sparrows etc they took turns walking up to get a chip them back away to eat it. None attacked the other to take their selected morsel.
Are starlings dumber then the other species of birds?
Were the starlings displaying intelligence by protecting each other from getting high cholesterol off the french fries?
Is this a picture of how some human being groups do each other?
Would it work to walk up and smack the french fries out of a human beings hand to protect them from unhealthy food?
This could be used as a government grant for a behavioral study. Should be worth 3 to 5 million.
