the voiceover is based on theories and assumptions, not truth maybe that was part of the male's plan, a gift for the shy female's nest to lure her nearer and build trust or maybe they edited the video to tell that story maybe they are brother and sister birds and he's just helping her out, or she's just taking his stuff ...

Nature is honestly so amazing, I am really really amazed by this, it's strange how humans are so caught up in themselves and are so egoistic and think they're the smartest species on earth but there is so much beauty and intelligence in nature that baffles me and makes me feel grateful to be alive

[@nirvanakamala2809]

+Alex Contreras in this context I mean civilization which is not natural in my own opinion (school jobs cars industries etc)

[@TheTaltiko]

I agree, but I cringe everytime someone sais humans are not the most intelligent species. This is instinct, nothing more than that. I'd like to see these birds build the ISS

[@ruthlesslistener]

TheTaltiko Actually, more and more reasurch points to the fact that instinct is not a compulsion, but learned by animals from their surroundings. Most likely then, the 'lack of intelligence' we see in their lack of building is not from them lacking smarts- they just don't need it, nor have the hands to build it. Humans require making things to survive, like clothes, spears, etc, which is why we do it so expansively. Birds, however have sharp claws for hunting, wings for fleeing, and feathers to keep them warm, and thus never evolved to build at quite the same scale that we have.

[@MaryJohnson-xb8nj]
