I'm not sure they're *that* dumb. I mean, I think we put them up on a pedestal as being really wise and stuff, and they're not super smart, so that makes them seem really low in comparison to our initial high expectations, but I've definitely met dumber birds. For example, my hawk is probably my dumbest big raptor. My estimation is based on the fact that he rarely seems to get bored. Given food, shelter and space, he's content. If he's tied to a perch he mostly just chills. My owl, on the other hand, gets bored when confined to a perch and becomes destructive, tearing things apart and such. I'd argue you have to have some intelligence to get bored. Just my thoughts from working with numerous raptors directly.
