Namaste,

 

Art is in the eye of the beholder...a child paints what appears to you to be an

amorphous mess, but the child sees something concrete in the mess....The Bower

Bird collect objects to decorate its dwelling, and many other animals create art

as well........It is like music, birds have the ability to move according to the

beat in the music.

Humans have extrapolated some abilities but all animals have similar in some

way....The human brain is big due to speech that's all...take away that and we

would have to rely on telepathy like animals...A bird is living proof that a

large brain is not required to measure intelligence, as intelligence is in the

mind not the brain....
