The inaugural posts at my blog back in early April of 2023 show my perhaps inordinate fondness for crows and ravens in particular. Here are the respective posts: https://psodmusings.wordpress.com/2023/04/06/crows-ravens-part-1-of-2/ and https://psodmusings.wordpress.com/2023/04/07/crows-and-ravens-part-2-of-2/

And I will soon be adding your co-authored article on corvid consciousness to my transdisciplinary bibliography on animal ethics, rights, and law: https://www.academia.edu/4843888/Animal_Ethics_Rights_and_Law_bibliography

I love the historical paintings. It shows fascination with animals even in the past. Thanks for sharing!

This is fantastic. When in grade school, our kid did a project on Corvus brachyrhynchos. What a fascinating species!

At least at this point in my life, I think advocating for birds is the sweet-spot for helping reduce cruelty to animals.

That must have been a fun project!

Birds don’t get enough attention, but the research on their intelligence has helped I hope to see them less as pests - as was once common.
