The consequences of the Anthropocene Age continues to diminish and cause the extinction of species, acidification of the oceans, destruction of natural resources, air pollution, etc. 1. Charles Darwin (1809-1882) observed, “Intelligence is based on how efficient a species became doing the things they need to survive.” As these birds learn to adapt and survive from becoming extinct like their once dinosaur ancestors … one bird watches for how nature and humans might threaten their existence.
