People often hate rats but rats are very clever. I actually admire them for their ways. And birds, the wild garden birds, are clever too. It is said that a Robin, for instance has the same intelligence level as a three year old child (like dogs and cats) Actually, I think those ideas underestimate their abilities.
Maybe we are too quick to measure 'intelligence' by human standards. And those can be a bit restrictive, and odd. For instance, I know I am intelligent, but never have a hope with IQ tests! It takes me too long to understand what they are getting at, and what I'm supposed to do first! That feels almost like a language, or mind-set barrier. Once that is understood I am okay but slow on the uptake!
Maybe I was a dog in a past life! haha
