Bluebirds are smart enough to understand that the sprinkler means it's time to dine

[JoeM]

This spring I have taken to growing grass in Amber's run from seed. (it's just now been 6 months since I unfortunately put her down - and not a day goes by that I don't miss her).

In the beginning I watered twice a day and I must admit I've received a nice pleasure from watching robin red breasts fly over in the evening and bath themselves just as soon as I turn the sprinkler on. And as soon as I turn it off I enjoy the bunnies that live under my deck coming out to munch on the new grass for their dinner.

Of course, if Amber were still here, she'd have them all running for the hills, pronto.

>>I guess it's kind of hard to define what intelligence is, and how to measure it.

I couldn't agree more.
