They have enough thought process to play. Watch them fly. They play in the thermals. Do all manner of aerobatics. They know how to steal from humans. That’s not “dumb”.

I think a lot of birds have more complex internal lives than people realize. I have chickens, amd all four of them have a distinct personality and feelings.

No kidding. My yard has had more chickens than I can count over the years. Every one an individual.

There’s literally a Sea Chanty from the 1600s about this. “Three White Gulls Were Flying”

It was a Crow’s Nest Chanty. Not a rowing or pull and haul Chanty.

Idk if that’s like a weird spelling from another country, but I’ve always read it as Shanty.

There’s a number of spellings, since it’s a word from a time before standardised English. At least, that’s what I think.
