 A well written, information packed paper. What a pity there isn't wider coverage of the complexity and cognitive abilities of birds for the general community. This sort of information highlights so strongly what a disgrace it is, the way birds (such as chickens) are still regarded as a food item and for the sake of profits, spend their entire lives in appallingly confined inhumane conditions as, for example, battery hens. I was amazed to hear a commentator on Australian ABC radio deride the notion of chickens as being fully functional sensory creatures and therefore presumably, cramped imprisonment didn't affect them. I think the article time and again draws attention to the human tendency to make assumptions that our intellectual abilities are different (and superior to)from other species and only we possess various of the higher ones - this was carefully addressed throughout the paper.
