If I had an animal city, I’d probably start with chickens. Some initial questions I might ask:
- does a chicken do path finding?
- can a chicken be trained to collect eggs and move them to a specific location?
- can a chicken be trained to clean itself?
- could chickens be trained to cleanup their home?
- how many concepts do chickens seem to have?
- what is the sophistication of a chicken concept?
- do chickens have multimodal pattern recognition?
- can chickens distinguish human words?
- what language primitives can they understand?
- what does their short term memory look like?
- what does their long term memory look like?
