Birds with more complex vocal skills are better problem-solvers
By now, it’s no secret that the phrase “bird brain” should be a compliment, not an insult. Some of our feathered friends are capable of complex cognitive tasks, including tool use (SN: 2/10/23).

In birds, this leads to beautiful calls and songs; in humans, it leads to language.
