The reputation of parrots as purveyors of a broad vocabulary is also reinforced with one study documenting how a grey parrot mastered 1,000 words and learnt to communicate in a manner that would shame some British adults. And, don’t forget sheep. Sheep, ridiculed for a non-questioning herd mentality, possess a sharp sense of individuality and can recognise the faces of at least 10 people and 50 other sheep for at least two years. The bird doesn’t attempt to flee or escape even when someone comes uncomfortably close to it, making it an easy target for poachers. Sudan has nearly 40 million sheep, while the UK has 33 million and New Zealand nearly 30 million. Here we go again… Another Calvinista discussing sheep and how utterly dumb they are!. They are also one of the most destructive creatures on the planet. Some are crafty enough to hatch machiavellian plots worthy of those who stalk the corridors of Whitehall. The results that may most perturb animal welfare groups are those that suggest chickens can feel pain. Other research that threatens the longevity of the phrase 'headless chicken' found that the creatures boast a greater sense of spatial awareness than young children. Scientists at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge also discovered that sheep react to facial expressions and, like humans, prefer a smile to a grimace. Sheep are pretty dumb. At the time Kendrick told BBC News: "The way the sheep's brain is organised suggests they must have some kind of emotional response to what they see in the world.". "During the drought, they were pushed out of feeding areas by sheep and other cattle, and the buffalo population crashed by 76% in one year. Suddenly sheep do not seem so dumb after all. A 2001 study by Keith Kendrick, who is now at the University of Electronic Science and Technology in China, found that they can recognise and remember at least 50 individual faces for more than 2 years. The enticing sight of their fellow sheep friends awaiting them at the finish helped them reach the exit. Drought is not uncommon in Kenya, but the issue now is the number of animals, both wild and domesticated, trying to survive it. They can also run fast and scale steep cliffs that many predators are not equipped to handle. A study published in September 2016 shows that the populations of wild animals in Kenya fell by 68% between 1977 and 2016. "[As with humans], despair is triggered by situations which are evaluated as sudden, unfamiliar, unpredictable… and uncontrollable, whereas boredom results from an overly predictable environment," write the authors. Further, the common phrase "to separate the sheep from the goats" comes from a passage in the New Testament. Leading theologians will also argue that Christian and Islamic faiths need to update their attitudes towards animals by bestowing an intrinsic value similar to that given to people. These acts of loyalty and friendship-building are driven by emotions. They were domesticated between 11000 and 9000 BC for the use of their woollen fleece, meat and milk. "Sheep showed clear behavioural signs of recognising… individuals by vocalising in response to their face pictures," says Kendrick. Complex. Reputation: Sheep are stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. Reality: Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. Sheep can carry the mental image of another sheep or person for two years. By contrast, chickens who were fully fit chose feed that was not spiked with an analgesic. Chickens command an extraordinary degree of self-control over food. Some people call sheep God’s creatures. Instead, we have decreed that sheep (Ovis aries) are just plain stupid. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are sent to slaughter.
