I don't know why people think that. The pets are so intellegent, it's almost bizarre. I would have to say that those that say that, have never spent any time with birds and know nothing about them. Boy would they be suprised. And birds can be so loving, they would forgive a person for their stupidity!

That's not true, birds are very smart. As a matter of fact, the smartest animal in the world is a bird, it's a parrot, the kia, i think that's how it's spelled. its IQ can go up to like a 4 year old or 6 year old.

Compared to people, birds are probably alot smarter. I mean, do birds start wars, murder and kill each other? People say birds are stupid because they have smaller brains, but can you imagine how hard it would be for a bird to fly with a human brain inside it's head?????

Define "Stupid"? For their size and weight, most birds are very intelligent. Think about it- you've got a brain the size of a fingernail- like a crow. You can talk, you go in flocks, you can communicate with other birds, you can express your opinion, you can impress other female birds with trinkets (In Florida alone they figure that 8 million dollars worth of jewelery is stolen by crows every year!) and you can build a nest that you can return to year after year after year.

Probably due to human beings' superiority complex.. comparing bird's behaviours and intelligence with that of a human's.
Not all people think birds are stupid by the way.. scientists who study them all their life would not, for example.

Anyone who thinks that, knows the bird IS SMARTER then they are. Thats just their jealousy of a good bird.
Birds such as parakeets and all hooks bills have a 10 yr old child's mind when grow up, thats what make them smarter then the people who think they are stupid LOL!

Birds are very smart. Probably people want to be the smartest things on Earth but dolphins and birds and foxes and cats and dogs are.

It depends what type of bird it is...The dodo bird was retarded..and so are some robins since they fly into cars...However the parot is relatively smart for a bird...People think birds are dumb, cause compared to humans,, they are. Compared to the rest of the animal kingdom they are brilliant.

People think that birds are stupid because they just fly around all day with no particular agenda

People think birds are stupid because they have really small brains. Although parrots have a somewhat the same sized brain, logic and comprehending tends to have a bigger chunk of it.
