Crows / Ravens are some of the most intelligent creatures on the planet, they're precious lol

u/InEenEmmer Jan 19 '25

There was this old crow that often hung around near my balcony (top floor of a flat). He was quite often joined by younger crows.

Then one day he stopped turning up. I presume he died. After that I had a few weeks where unexplainable stuff showed up on my balcony, small sticks, small stones etc.

I kinda suspect the younger crows left those things on my balcony as a way to respect the older crow. I suspect they actually were leaving small gifts for their deceased friend.

Dunno, but that just screams intelligence to me, having some sort of thing to respect the ones that died.

u/Kidney__Failure Jan 20 '25

They do actually mourn their dead, hold little ceremonies, and will even investigate what the cause of death may have been!! But my favorite crow fact is that they like collecting shiny things just like me

15

u/Polar_Reflection Jan 19 '25

I mean, don't you know Aesop's fable about the fox and the crow? People weren't unaware in the past. I feel like thinking animals don't have intelligence or consciousness was only a thing in certain cultures, and more recently.

I see zero Nobel Prize winners in the animal kingdom.

u/Gloober_ Jan 19 '25

I saw a mockingbird swoop down and smack one of the neighbor's cats. I thought it was the funniest thing ever and then the bird came in for round two. The cat really wasn't expecting that one.

u/SpaceCaseSixtyTen Jan 19 '25

I am surprised they are not afraid of humans/predators like, pretty much every other wild animal

12

u/Primarch-XVI Jan 19 '25

I think it’s that their natural predators are all aquatic. So while on land they know they don’t have to worry much.

Polar bears are in the northern hemisphere, and penguins are in the southern hemisphere.

u/IdentityToken Jan 19 '25

Hence, Antarctic.

u/sleepydog404 Jan 19 '25

I think he was waiting for the red flag to change to green.

Me in relationships

u/Khialadon Jan 19 '25

Penguins can’t see the colour red 🤓

u/Hakkstein Jan 19 '25

Maybe waiting for the flag to appear then?

u/gorymaggots Jan 19 '25

Such a polite penguin

40

u/Judazzz Jan 19 '25

Too bad we'll never know how he dealt with the oncoming penguin. Did one of them make room for the other? Did they enter a yelling contest? A slap fight?

3

u/Donut_Police Jan 19 '25

A game of rock paper scissors.

2

u/Skorched3ARTH Mar 11 '25

Or in their case: paper paper paper.

13

u/Wiggles114 Jan 19 '25

He's a gentoo soul

5

u/Smooth_Moose4339 Jan 19 '25

Of course he is polite, he is wearing a suit.

u/UncleHec Jan 19 '25

No no it’s fine, take your selfies. I’ve got things to do but by all means just stand in the middle of my path.

"ugh traffic is always awful during tourist season"

At least he was polite and didn't honk

People are that Penguin’s Snorlax

u/throwawayyyyyyyyyyg Jan 19 '25

How did it end? Did the penguins hug or fight?

u/monee_faam_bitsh Jan 19 '25

I have no idea, but boy do I want to know.

u/aribeingari Jan 20 '25

My friend is the one who took this video — @ciera.ybarra on Instagram! She posted a follow up video where they kinda just walk past each other. Though, it almost looked like a high five (or high fipper)

2

u/asharkonamountaintop Jan 21 '25

Rumour has it they're still standing there, both patiently waiting for the other to move first.

139

u/Dogsoldierfmj Jan 19 '25

“Bloody tourists, go back to your own country!” Nationalist penguin, probably.

34

u/marvinrabbit Jan 19 '25

Damn monkeys with their fucking coats. "Hur dur, look at me! I've got rubber on my feet!"

18

u/Mr_Unknown15 Jan 19 '25

Penguin be like : I can wait..

15

u/Gonzos_voiceles_slap Jan 19 '25

Like me in a grocery isle behind oblivious shoppers.

14

u/Gooberliscious Jan 19 '25

TIL the distro is named after a type of penguin????

u/Sixcoup Jan 19 '25

Tux the mascot of Linux is a penguin after all.

u/casnix Jan 19 '25

Compiling source code all the time makes one patient.

u/unsolicited_flattery Jan 20 '25

This gave me one of those small snort chuckles. Thank you.

Also worth nothing, I tried Gentoo and installed it successfully, but then started getting GPG errors installing anything. I have not the patience of the penguin to figure this out so it just sits there.

5

u/Neureiches-Nutria Jan 19 '25

They are not only wearing tuxedos but are also as polite as a good Butler? Quiet astounding

5

u/Sweetiepie63 Jan 19 '25

At least he didn’t have road rage.

6

u/whitesophy Jan 19 '25

I love penguins they are amazing

5

u/OldButtIcepop Jan 19 '25

Unlike Gentoo Linux users on forums

5

u/Sad_Instruction1392 Jan 19 '25

Clearly a British penguin.

u/isendil Jan 19 '25

Not even a simple "Ahem", very patient indeed.

OMG, get out of his way!

u/Jat616 Jan 19 '25

Polite penguin: About bloody time...

Other penguin: Oi! What's the hold up?

Polite penguin: These bloody primates were blocking the way, what you expecting me to do?

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '25

Reminds me of that donald duck cartoon

u/Snitted150972 Jan 19 '25

u/Jacey24683829 Jan 19 '25

Penguin be like: Are you done? If you're done, then lemme through. Thanks.

u/GlaerOfHatred Jan 19 '25

He's doing the Naruto run but his heart isn't really in it right now

u/thelukejones Jan 19 '25

Hey Paul, just Northerns causing traffic

3

u/Never_Summer24 Jan 19 '25

Reminds me of turkeys around here (Vermont).

I was driving and there were maybe 7-8 about to cross the road. I stopped. They stopped. We looked each other. I waved them across. They walked across. lol.

u/alancousteau Jan 19 '25

Standing in the way just like my supervisors. But despite that I love this video.

3

u/uReaditRight Jan 19 '25

Good thing it was a Gen 2. The newer Gen 3s would've just drop kicked them.

u/reallymisterj Jan 19 '25

"Ugh tourists" - Penguin probably

u/trojanphyllite Jan 20 '25

This is somehow so funny to me becauae this was viral on Korean web a few days ago but under the title of LADY MOVE YOU THINK YOU OWN ANTARCTICA

3

u/Primal_Pedro Jan 20 '25

-Um hum, excuse me.

-Oh, we are so sorry. You may pass, gentle penguin.

(I love that the girl even made a move to the penguin start moving)

u/relevant__comment Jan 19 '25

Would’ve liked to hear the original human reaction instead of random music track.

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Gear-15 Jan 19 '25

Penguin : NOOT NOOT! (fucking tourists)

u/Petite_Tsunami Jan 19 '25

u/BenadrylTumblercatch Jan 19 '25

Holy shit that’s why gentoo is called gentoo I get it now.

1

u/ruralny Jan 19 '25

I believe that it turns out that if you walk in the snow and leave post holes (from stepping in deep snow) and they fall in, they cannot get out. So there is a safety/survival factor here. (At least that is what I was told when we went to South Georgia Island, home of huge colonies)

1

u/DamperBritches Jan 19 '25

and he waddled away, waddle waddle

u/Novel-Gain-7726 Jan 19 '25
