On non-human cultures and Eden

I recall watching a number of black colored birds land in a formation that resembled a guard for two princelings.

Four birds landed in and formed a circle. Another bird (bird A) landed nearby and then started squawking. After that two , possibly male, birds landed in the middle of the circle and started to do something that appeared to look like play.

I got up, and chased these two birds away, the circle broke up. The guard birds started squawking before I could disturb the two in the middle, the lone guard bird did the same.

A few seconds later two birds landed nearby from the same group. One bird was standing over the other and appeared to be attacking and squawking at the other as if reprimanding it. The strange thing was that bird A seemed to be the one being reprimanded and the reprimander seemed to be one of the birds from the guard.

The place was a park in Sydney during the Olympic games there somewhere in October 2000.

I suspect that left alone and allowed to grow to a size, all animals will form a culture. This may be a path to development of language with other species.

This makes sense considering that the structure of brains is similar in all animals.
