Quail: The World's Stupidest Bird

Driving home from work today, I crested a hill and spotted three quail standing around in my lane, just chillin’.  I slowed down, since squashing wildlife is not how I get my kicks.  Two of the birds immediately scurried right off of the road.  The third stood around for awhile, then looked from left to right in a panic, as if to say, “Derr, where did everybody go?” then finally turned and leisurely strolled out of the way in complete ignorance of his wings.

It makes one wonder if Darwin was really full of shit with that whole natural selection deal.
