These scientific studies on chicken intelligence will blow your mind

Correction: 4:30 The balls in this study were actually yellow, not red (red plastic squares were used in a different experiment in the same paper), and the chicks imprinted on 5 balls together, not just a single ball.

A FEW ORGANIZATIONS YOU CAN SUPPORT:
Farmed animal sanctuaries provide a safe home for a small number of rescued farmed animals, help the public connect with these animals, and raise awareness about the conditions to which their fellows are subjected by the animal agriculture industry. The following two sanctuaries provided footage for this video:

Mercy For Animals: focused on ending industrial animal agriculture through undercover investigations of factory farms, lobbying for laws to help farmed animals, etc.

The Good Food Institute: conducts scientific research and government advocacy to help make plant-based and cell-cultured meat more competitive with slaughtered meat.

Vegan Land Movement: buys land currently used to farm animals and converts it back to natural habitat, providing a home for wild animals, plants, and fungi. If we all ate plants instead of animals, the global human population could be fed using just a fraction of the agricultural land we are currently using, and the remaining land could be returned to nature.

OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO:

Write to your representative and tell them you want government subsidies to be shifted away from animal agriculture and plants grown as animal feed and toward plants grown to feed people. Currently, most government agricultural subsidies go to support animal agriculture, which artificially reduces the cost of animal products relative to healthier and more environmentally sustainable plant foods. In the US, this is especially relevant when the Farm Bill is up for renewal, which happens about every 5 years (currently up for renewal in 2023).

Minor correction: in the study on chicks doing arithmetic (Rugani et al. 2009), the balls were actually yellow, not red, and the chicks imprinted on five balls rather than a single ball. It has no impact on the conclusions but I wanted to correct that mistake!

[@DrFarazHarsini]

This video was incredible! I know how much time it took to make and I know how busy you are! So thank you! This might be one of the best videos made to compare human and non-human animal intelligence.

[@MickeyPardoPhD]

Thank you! And thanks for encouraging me to make it in the first place.

[@imjesperbtw]

​@@MickeyPardoPhD Very interesting video. I'm happy you made it! 🌱🌱

[@RD-wb5ok]

Mind blowing! 😮

[@Aniket7Tomar]

This is incredibly informative. Bravo!!

[@kimitosakata8524]

Thanks for making this video!

[@VeganKnave]

People call chickens unintelligent, but clearly they are very smart. Amazing that baby chicks can do math! Thanks for sharing this research 🐤 and for highlighting their mistreatment by the egg and meat industries.

[@user-dr9bb2qf4f]

Amazing work! Although it’s good how we are learning how incredibly sentient these beings are, it makes it even sadder to when we see how much they are exploited.

Love the work you are doing, thank you! Shout out to Jewel at Danzig's Roost!

[@joey9126]

Wow😮 this is an incredibly needed analysis. These animals killed for our foods our intelligent conscious creatures that deserve to live out their lives and experience a fulfilling life, not to be killed for an unsustainable meal. I know many people who work in animal agriculture, would like to ignore this but you lay out a lot of great evidence! Thank you!

[@MickeyPardoPhD]

Thanks, I appreciate the comment!

[@concourse6238]

Keep up the great work :)

[@TheDeadlyKiller101]

Great & well-detailed video! I LOVED the simple animations in the vid. Keep up the great work!

[@MickeyPardoPhD]

Thank you! Those animations took a while to figure out how to do!

[@Warriorvegan]

Amazing work!! Thank you for your scientific work and contribution. Bravo!

[@eduardomemije632]

This video is gonna blow up on a random Wednesday in 5 years.

[@MickeyPardoPhD]

I hope so!

[@birantyldz513]

Amazing work! Thank you and @DrFarazHarsini who show us this video.

[@onthegowithsonnyandapril2222]

Wow, I just watched your new video, and I have to say, those chickens are smarter than I am! 😂 Seriously though, your content amazes me, the flow is superb, and your voice is easy to listen to. Thanks for making this video, and congrats on posting your first! 🎉 Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@MickeyPardoPhD]

Thank you! Stay tuned for some new videos in the near future!

[@sostonbedrox6649]

Such a great video!

[@veglordsupreme7223]

Wish there were less chickens in factory farms and more cuddling with me. 😢

[@arianamei]

Poor chickens. 😢

[@garywellings-kt6ef]

Ok so lets get this to legislation and all go vegan
