There is a great deal of research that proves that the animals in our lives can do more than we ever imagine. After all, we know that animals are far more intelligent than we give them credit for.
Animals are one of the most intelligent and social creatures on the planet, and this is one of the reasons as to why animals are so easy to relate with. They have the ability to be very, very smart—no, better than that. When we look at animal behavior and intelligence, we see that they are a natural part of our world, and that’s why we’re so easy to relate to and sympathize with.
One of my favorite animal heroes, I have to admit, is a cockatiel.
I’ve always found it interesting that cockatiels are one of the few animals that have a tendency to try to kill each other, but even they are willing to work together to help each other if they can. The best example I can think of is in an episode of Animal Planet’s Blue Planet II.
In this episode, a group of cockatiels and a human are trapped in an asteroid. They have been attempting to break out of their cage using a device that emits a laser that they think is a bomb, but it doesn’t actually explode. Instead, it sends an intense beam of light into the asteroid and destroys it.
You might remember that episode because the scene where the cockatiels and the human are fighting to break free of their cage was one of my favorite bits in the whole series. The cockatiels have a habit of destroying each other’s cage and the human has a habit of doing the same. What happens is that, instead of destroying the cage, the cockatiels somehow manage to break the cage and the human, who is the weakest of the two, breaks the cage.
Yeah, I can’t see how anyone could have survived that fight.
In the end, the cockatiels and the human were left standing. The human is the only one who managed to survive. The cockatiels, though, are destroyed. The episode also included a little piece I enjoyed the most, where the cockatiels (who are always trying to bite the life out of each other) are suddenly terrified by the human, who has their own cockatiel friend to defend them.
The human, who is the weakest of the two, breaks the cage. Yeah, I cant see how anyone could have survived that fight. In the end, the cockatiels and the human were left standing. The human is the only one who managed to survive. The cockatiels, though, are destroyed.
I think this one was a little too easy, but I enjoyed watching the cockatiels, and I like how they were saved by their own animal friends.
