Brown skuas can recognise people: Scientists
Q. Which birds can recognise individual persons?- Published on 28 Mar 16a. Crows
b. Magpies
c. Skuas
d. All of the above
ANSWER: All of the above
Scientists in South Korea have studied brown skuas in Antarctica and found that just like crows, magpies and mockingbirds, they too can recognise individual persons. They recognised people who had previously measured their nest. Birds knew these people regardless of clothes change. Brown skuas who have lived in human free habitats recognised individual humans after just 3 to 4 visits. They have high level of cognitive abilities.
