Worlds Cleverest Bird

Worlds Cleverest Bird 2008

This clever bird has flown off with a gold medal for being the most intelligent bird on the planet. Woodlands is throwing down the gauntlet to other bird owners to produce a cleverer bird. The winner will receive a gold medal for the Cleverest Bird in the World 2008.

Her teacher Geoff Pearson, the Woodlands Falconer has been amazed by the Caracaras brilliance “I have worked with birds for nearly 50 years” he said “but Tina is highly intelligent. She can pick a cube out of two balls for me and pick out a colour from three balls; she will even drop a ball on command and bring another colour. Cleverest of all to entertain all the kids I can put down three toys Nemo, Donald Duck and Miss Piglet; I ask for a different one each time and she never fails. Some scientists say no bird is that intelligent but come and watch Tina, she proves them wrong”.

Ravens are rated as one of the world’s most intelligent birds but Woodlands is so convinced that Tina, the Striated Caracara is highest in the pecking order they are challenging falconers, bird enthusiasts and bird experts to win the gold medal and title ‘Worlds Cleverest Bird 2008’. There will be four Annual Woodlands tickets to the winners with silver and bronze medals to runners up. “If there is a cleverer bird in the country we want to hear about it” said Geoff “I don’t think our high flyer can be beaten”.

Tina is 29 years old, has a wingspan of between 2 & 3 feet and looks hilarious running across the ground to catch her prey. The Striated Caracara is a unique bird, a cross between a falcon and a hawk, and is indigenous to the Falkland Islands.
