Bird Brain

Bird Brain.

“Only a bird brain can make a statement like “Peacocks don’t have sex. The peahen gets impregnated by swallowing the tears of the peacock” snorted my friend.

His words brought to my mind another myth about birds. 

We tend to call stupid people “bird brains” but the fact is that although a birds brain is simple in design when compared to mammals, yet a bird can recognise relatives which it hasn’t seen in years, tell a neighbour from a stranger just by its voice, remember the location of food it had hid away months earlier, and even use tools.

Birds are really much brighter and smarter I think, than an Ex HC judge who is making crazy “poppycock” statements about peacocks.
