Why birds are smarter than we think
Birds have not been known for their high IQs, which is why a person of questionable intelligence is sometimes called a birdbrain. Yet in the past two decades, the study of avian intelligence has witnessed dramatic advances. From a time when birds were seen as simple instinct machines responding only to stimuli in their external worlds, we now know that some birds have complex internal worlds as well. This beautifully illustrated book provides an engaging exploration of the avian mind, revealing how science is exploding one of the most widespread myths about our feathered friends--and changing the way we think about intelligence in other animals as well. Bird Brain looks at the structures and functions of the avian brain, and describes the extraordinary behaviors that different types of avian intelligence give rise to. It offers insights into crows, jays, magpies, and other corvids--the "masterminds" of the avian world--as well as parrots and some less-studied species from around the world. This lively and accessible book shows how birds have sophisticated brains with abilities previously thought to be uniquely human, such as mental time travel, self-recognition, empathy, problem solving, imagination, and insight. Written by a leading expert and featuring a foreword by Frans de Waal, renowned for his work on animal intelligence, Bird Brain shines critical new light on the mental lives of birds.-- "Choice"Binding Type: Hardcover

Cute toy for my dog!
Color: Yellow - Fried Chicken Leg, Color: Yellow - Fried Chicken Leg
I have an old gentle dog who can’t chew on hard toys so he enjoys soft toys. This chicken drumstick is soft, squeaky, and cute!

doggy toy chicken leg
Color: Yellow - Fried Chicken Leg
I bought this chicken leg toy for my dog and it quickly became one of his favorites. The yellow top part has two different sections — the very top makes a crinkly sound like paper when he bites it, and the middle squeaks when he chews or presses on it, which really keeps him interested. The white bottom part is super soft and easy for me to hold, so it’s great for playing tug or just interacting with him. The size is perfect for small dogs, but it might feel a bit small for larger breeds — that said, the material quality is really nice. Overall, it feels well made, fun, and keeps my dog entertained without getting bored. Definitely a good buy.

Fun, engaging, and cute toy for dogs!
Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer, Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer
I got the fried fish toy for my dog. So far, he really enjoys the squeaking noise and comes running every time he hears it. The toy material is pretty thick and is holding up well during playtime. The size of this toy is perfect for my small dog but it might be a bit small for larger dogs.
Overall it's a fun and super cute toy for my pets that's become a favorite!

Fun enrichment
Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer, Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer
Bought this to keep my dog busy while I’m out, and surprisingly it works. It’s soft, lightweight, and he was interested right away. Hiding treats inside turns it into a sniffing challenge that keeps him occupied longer than expected.
The squeaker does its job, and the material feels gentle, but this is not for heavy chewers. If your dog destroys toys for sport, proceed with caution.
Overall, it’s a fun enrichment toy that helps with boredom. Great for light to moderate play and dogs who don’t choose violence every day.
