What about bird intelligence? The modern view is that the parts of the bird brain use to be called the pallium actually are organized in a similar way as the neocortex. Although a bird brain is usually smaller than the mammal brain, it has in many case the same amount of neurons. Actually, a high percentage of neurons are located in the pallium than in the neocortex. Please note that our cerebellum contains more than half of the number of neurons in the brain.
