Corvids have long been a target of public fascination and of scientific attention, particularly in the study of animal minds. Using Birch et al.'s (2020) 5-dimensional framework for animal consciousness we ask what it is like to be a corvid and propose a speculative but empirically informed answer. We go on to suggest future directions for research on corvid consciousness and how it can inform ethical treatment and animal welfare legislation.
鸦科动物长期以来一直是公众着迷和科学关注的对象,尤其是在动物思维研究方面。利用伯奇等人(2020年)提出的动物意识五维框架,我们探究作为一只鸦科动物会是什么样的,并给出一个基于推测但有实证依据的答案。我们接着提出了关于鸦科动物意识研究的未来方向,以及它如何为道德对待和动物福利立法提供参考。
