I do not understand Birds. As a species they are incomprehensible to me. The closest I've come is deciphering what a chicken might be thinking. I suspect they're focused on Oil Futures trading, but even that I can't be certain about. Sparrows, penguins, hawks, and hummingbirds I have no connection to. Even Gray Parrots - the same birds whose intelligence powers our smartest super computers - are a mystery. I may have a learning disorder.
