I only stopped saying my cat is smarter than the vast majority of people I've met because she is no longer with us.

I did, and still do, believe this to be true. Would love to befriend a bird

You can befriend corvids. Teaching them symbolic language is tricky, but they can trade and socialise and solve puzzles (if you manage to explain the puzzle).
