How come bird real estate is more complex than sub saharan architecture
>>18547312Avians are spiritually Nordic
>>18547333Even the cuckoo bird?
>>18547312>foolis the serpent refering to himself, or did he rehearse his one liner before entering the nest, expecting to make a strong impression?
>>18547345He was trying to epic own the bird by jumping into the nest and saying "Fool!", but he was the one who got owned and made to look like a fool instead.
>>18547312What's keeping the snake from just camping there until the bird eventually gets hungry and has to leave its hiding place? Snakes, being cold-blooded, can just sit still and burn basically zero calories, but birds have a super high metabolism that makes them need food multiple times per day.

Animals will only be as intelligent as their environment demands them to be - anything more than that is a waste of resources. The weaver bird has to build these large, elaborate, housing complexes, in order to deter/thwart snakes, rats, weasels, cats, owls, and a host of other predators, from eating their babies and themselves. The demands of nest building also incentivizes large communities to work and function collaboratively. Whereas the average African can be safe and content with a mudhut and a small garden plot - their only real predator is other Africans.

>>18547618>Whereas the average African can be safe and content with a mudhut and a small garden plotYou needed walls and protection from the elements lmao. Why speak if you know nothing? Animals have been known to intrude on houses and farming plots of land for ages.
>>18547618I find that picture unsettling.
>>18547337ESPECIALLY the cuckoo bird :)
>>18547312Shouldn't it be the bird saying "fool"
>>18547312>sub-saharan architecture
