That was one smart/greedy bird lol

[@HaukeLaging]

I didn't expect the small bird to take meat. But I even less expected the stronger crow to react to "Don't be greedy!"... 😆🖤

Too bad birds don't have taste buds. I feel sorry for them

[@GooseberryHollow]

@@atheistconservative6211 I know, huh? But feel bad for them because they don’t have many taste receptors. 🤣 It’s decidedly way lower number than we have, but they do have them. Fewer than fifty, but species dependent, up to 500. We can have up to 10,000 at our upper range. There’s a video coming up where I give them a bit of beef trim and it’s interesting watching the crow taste it in tiny bits, before deciding it’s worthwhile. It’s fourth in the queue presently. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

@GooseberryHollow That's an interesting topic but I wager birds and reptiles taste food completely different than us. They get some kind of reward in their brain. They show varying preferences for the food they eat. Monitor lizards and pythons i know are very discerning on what meat they like best, often prefering African soft fur rats specifically. Monitor lizards will often just eat the specific organs it likes in its prey leaving entrails behind.

@@Saturn-Matrix it goes without saying they taste differently than we do. Your speculation is accepted knowledge and been understood for a long time now. Not only do birds not have enough close to the number of taste receptors, itself a clarion call that they don’t taste the same, most birds lack the sweet taste receptors and not very many bird species have bitter receptors, if any. Obviously they wouldn’t taste or perceive things identically simply because they’re missing out. Another massive thing is their olefactory system don’t work in conjunction with tasting as ours do. Humans smell our food even more than we taste it, in fact. In short, avian tasting is not even close to nuanced as ours. And decidedly different. It’s a bet you’d win, but I’d never take it as I know it’s a losing wager. 🤣 Interesting as heck, tasting. As a food professional, it’s been something I’ve delved into.
