The year is 2354. After decades of trials, tests, and experiments bordering on ethical insanity, it finally happens. Earth has a second sentient species emerge, and it is...
The African Grey Parrot.
What would avian tools look like? How would vehicles designed for birds be controlled? Would it be by beak? By one foot? By hovering and using both feet? Would we build Avian-friendly smart phones for them?
What would life as a sentient bird be like, Veeky Forums?
>vehicles for birds
Are you high, motherfucker?
Incredibly
I was watching planet of the apes, and of course apes can just use human stuff cos we're about the same. But African Grey Parrots are among the smartest animals on Earth. If they could think like us, how would they build things?
>letting a bird drive a car
Are you HIGH, motherfucker?
Well they wouldn't need vehicles OP
They can fly. Honestly a series of brightly lit perches should be made to allow them to go from place to place within a city. If they need to go far distances and don't want to fly they can get a specialized über with a nice perch and seed snacks for them.
Why would birds need tools? As was subtly observing, they don't need vehicles. They can just pick apart our trash for food, find shelter virtually everywhere...
Though given how sociable parrots are, they would certainly enjoy mass communication technologies.
Tools are simple, anything light weight that can be picked up in beak or claw is useful. Mechanical pencils would be the writing tool of choice I'd imagine.
Unless they have been extraordinarily biologically modified they wouldn't need utensils for eating. And a simple small door built into a bigger door attached to a perch would work for doorways
Basically society would need to integrate perches for birds to sit into it. And maybe official places for them to poo (which would be every 15 minutes)
But their poo is fantastic for the soil. So you could appoint trees for pooping. No need to make bord sized toilets or anything.
Can't be worse shitposters than the Aussies anyway
Birds are irl trolls. If they can annoy something else, they will. Furniture is funner to chew on than toys because you don't want them to do it. Other birds' food is tastier than their own because it wasn't meant for them. If you don't want them to do something, they try twice as hard to do it. If they could post on the internet, it would be nothing but shitposting.
