alt Hacker NewsI know more than one person who believe that certain birds, especially crows, ravens, and cardinals, are reincarnated loved ones bringing a message.
I don't share this belief, but the more we find out about avian intelligence, the less surprised we should be that people actually think this.

I'm not sure why you get downvoted for pointing out that some people have a belief that is not shared by most other people.
Seems that some posters would rather shoot the messenger that delivers information that they don't agree with.
From interacting with domestic and wild animals for most of my life I figured out a long time ago that they understand their own world and their place in it way better than many of us understand the world we have created for ourselves.
Given the tiny size of avian brains compare to mammals, particulary humans, it's hard to ascribe a lot of intelligence to them. But for what they can do, they seem quite well optimized.
