ocr: BIRD INTELLIGENCE Birds are largely driven by instinct and they behave according to set patterns. If conditions change, birds often cannot adapt. European robins will attack a piece of red cloth, as ifit were a male with a red breast. Geese make alarm calls when they see a bird of prey, but react in the same way to a cardboard cutout. However, members of the crow family are quick-witted birds that have learned to survive in the modern word. SEE ALSO
