Eric, I shared your post with my pet canary, and he was quite
offended at the implication that small non predator avian species
would be considered inferior. I must admit he has a point. I
personally think crows are the most intelligent North American bird.
You wont see them flying into a whirling blade. I have absolutely
no data to support my position in this matter. DLB

Canarys are too smart to fly into windows and cars, since they are
working hard, deep in the coal mines. I was thinking more of starlings.
which even our Audubon fanatic neighbor detested.
