Doesn't this kinda _have_ to be true? Otherwise we'd need to have a common ancestor with birds that was itself intelligent

You can do it cheaper, but it's work. I kept a few chickens for years, and it takes time to clean out the coop, to move the run when they've scratched up the grass. You've gotta be there in the morning to let them out, and in
