- What kind of intelligence allows a bird to anticipate the arrival of a distant storm? Or find its way to a place it has never been before, though it may be thousands of miles away? Or precisely imitate the songs of hubdreds of other species? Or hide tens of thousands of seeds over hundreds of square miles and remember where it put them six months later? Maybe genius is a better word.
