A new study, conducted by a group of neuroscience researchers at the University of Tübingen in Germany, has indicated that birds like crows are capable of experiencing subjective reality—a perception of reality that is dependent on their individual minds.
These findings could completely change our understanding of consciousness in animals, considering subjective reality is a trait that has been attributed only to humans and other primates until now.

Working on lectures for #AnimalBehavior. Today's topics - #learning & #EvoDevo of behavior.

I knew #crows were smart AF, but then I found this @PLOS paper on these fancy #reptiles figuring out how water displacement works (journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…)
The article has this awesome supplementary video on YouTube ()

I laughed out loud🤣at the #crow in the U-tube experimental trial! This is so cool.

#onlinelearning
Not that I need to say it, but designing & creating a 6-week course for summer is BRUTAL. Not to mention one for #onlinelearning

But this kind of awesome #AnimalBehavior #science makes it a tiny bit easier to tackle.

I feel like I haven’t tweeted about, ya know, actual crows or crow related content in some time. So how about we learn about #crows for a minute?
Did you knows crows can keep track of small quantities AND they can recognize when quantities are unequal? What’s more is that it seems their brains do this in the same ways our do...via individual neurons corvidresearch.blog/2015/06/11/cou…
When I say they can keep track of small quantities what I mean is if you hide 3 treats under 10 cups and mix em up, jackdaws will stop turning boxes over once they’ve found three treats...at least according to a 1950 study. Parrots are another bird that seem to do this.
