Comment on "bird watching" goes both ways

Domesticated cats meow, a primarily kitten behavior, to communicate with humans. Dogs display behaviors common to wolf pups because domestication has throttled some developmental traits from their wild ancestry.

Interesting that wild birds are starting to figure out their own tricks to manipulate humans.

Dont forget that dogs developed eyebrow muscles in order to do the puppy eyes better.

    My theory is that while humans addomesticated the dogs, they choose the cuter ones, the ones that where cuter were the ones that did puppy eyes better, so the ones that developed eyebrow muscles won
