Art by Animals

I think they deserve our attention, especially in modern times, because of our blindness and indifference, when many many animal species become extinct per daily basis!

We often dream of computers as being superb to any life form on Earth, we give them soul, so to say, even we put them in front of ourselfs! Are they that good?

Look here! They are animals and they are artists!

Yes, i find in particular that some birds are incredible, much clever and strange than we were told a few decades ago !

Are bowerbirds artists and do they have an aesthetic sense?"

Yes, those little birds are impressive! Thanks for the links!

These animals are pretty talented!
