🐔 Chickens are more than just farm animals—they’re intelligent, social, and fascinating creatures:

• Recognize up to 100 faces
• See more colors than humans
• Form bonds and mourn their companions
• Experience dreams while sleeping
• Navigate using the sun in the wild
• Descended from the mighty T-Rex
• Can run at 9 mph and live up to 16 years

Perfect blend of nature’s instinct and evolutionary wonder 🌿

These are the unprecedented actions Australian governments are preparing for under a new $100 million funding package to prepare for what experts say is an inevitable outbreak of a deadly variant of bird flu, known as H5N1, which has decimated wildlife on every continent except Australia.
