    The amount of effort to obtain the female-impressing rock by the crow is far less than by the human, thus indicating that the crow is the wisest of the two.

    “Hey look at this cool rock i found” is definitely a valid courting technique for neurodiverse persons :3

    but USUALLY never diamonds.

      That’s because diamonds are pretty boring. The only thing they have going for them is sparkling. There are SO many prettier gemstones out there.

      It’s also good for (at least some?) neurological neurotypical* people. I rarely connect with people romantically, but if a dude just wanted to show me cool rocks he’d found, I’d definitely be well on my way to falling to in love

      *Autocorrect made me look like a douchebag! Sorry!

        I would like to preface that I am not saying this to be judgemental and I’m not implying that anyone was hurt by it, but,

        I’m not sure if you used “neurological” instead of “neurotypical” on purpose…? Because literally every creature with a brain is neurological.

        And while I definitely used “neurodiverse” instead of “neurodivergent” on purpose because it feels nicer, implying that the opposite term is “neurological” might sound to some as though you are implying that neurodivergent/aneurotypical people have no neurological framework and I hesitate to jump to the conclusion that that’s actually what you meant.

    Chicken thoughts is a great webcomic. I don’t own a bird and thanks to chicken thoughts I never will.
