Like a cat doesn’t know it’s a cat. It doesn’t look at another cat and think “oh a cat”.
The worst part of this post is I’m not even high
Birds seem to know what they are.
The ducks we have will kinda hang around the other ducks they were duckling with even when incorporated into the main flock.
The geese we have on the farm, I think at least two varieties, keep themselves split by breed even though they were all goslings at the same time kept in the same brooder pen when they were tiny.
I wonder if its a difference between animals that are more solitary in nature versus animals that tend to herd/flock?
