Hey, don't knock bird brains. A crow with a brain the size of cashew nut often outscore chimps with brain the size of grapefruits in problem solving tests.
Unlike mammals, whose higher cognitive processes only happen in a thin layer on the surface of the cerebrum, bird brains appear to carry out cognitive processes throughout the entire cerebrum. In other words, birds actually use most of their brains to cognitate, mammals not so much.
