Solidarity is a social trait. Neat to see if to clearly demonstrated :)

It's called compassion. We humans should try it more often.

Beautiful plumage!

Mine is more like a flying psycho toddler with knives for a face that takes a bitey tantrum when she doesn't get her way. Cute otherwise....

Literally everything the right accuses the left of they are guilty of, so knowing that has anyone checked to see if they are lizard people?

So what I'm getting here is parrots are more human any Republican.

This is kind of dishonest. The parrot they give the rings to HAS to gibe the other parrot the rings in order to get nuts
plasticdeer
but the parrot giving the rings to their friend doesn't get any nuts out of the transaction. that's the point here

I think the parrot with the rings is driven by hope that the walnut trader may throw a walnut his way
FistingBabyYoda
Why didn't they share the walnuts instead?
LiarLiarPantsUntier
I need my teeth fixed; are there any parrots here?

WHY CAN'T THIS BE APOLITICAL? ITS FUCKING BIRDS. Granted, they are smart and this is really cool research but wtf with the politics?
ZucchiniBobbini
Because capitalists hoard the seeds
GreenTeaParty
Bc politics is actually part of life, just because you don’t want to think about it doesn’t mean others are as defensively compartmentalized

So much text, so much repetition, so little information given after the headline
IFavouriteEveryPostISee
A lot was given after the headline? What kinda revelations were you expecting?
Username383
A better information to text length ratio.
IFavouriteEveryPostISee
Fair I suppose.

I'm not any party, I'm not from the US, but I see what's going on over there... are you actually suggesting that the DEMs are better?
DrOsmium
The Dems at least make a pretense of helping people. I'll take that over the party of "fuck you, I got mine". "BoTh SiDeS!" lol fuck off

Democrats are no saints either, but more of them are in favor of helping the people of the country that don’t have millions

Jimmy Dore is not bragging the Repubs, he's just more pissed off at the Dems 'cause they're supposed to be better, but are actually corrupt.
