Raven Wisdom:

Insights on the Acumen of Some Birds

Raven Wisdom - an artwork by T Newfields
Ellesha: Are we not that different from ravens?
Andrei: How so?
Ellesha: Haven't you observed ravens closely? They are basically scavengers. Most of us are also opportunistic scavengers.
Andrei: (shrugging his shoulders) What's wrong with that?
Ellesha: I'm not moralizing - just observing. Notice how they deal with weaker birds, then compare that to their behavior when stronger animals approach.
Andrei: Okay - they know when to use their beaks and when flap their wings.
Ellesha: (nodding) Perhaps we need to learn the same.
