Meanwhile -

I've heard that the birds don't sing songs to us but rather either tempt mates for reproduction or warn other same-sex birds to come too close or else!

That fact that anyone would even think that they're singing "for us" is disturbing. It's so deeply stupid.

I could assume that many people think X being here (just) for us 🤔

But you have a point.

I agree. When there's no threat to us, it's easy to become self-centered.
A walk in the woods isn't so nice when you're at the bottom of the food chain.

My cats bring me toys because they think I cannot hunt.

With the exception of mockingbirds. Who do it to be jackasses.

I had one in my yard that copied the sound of a tool once, I walked away and then heard it going and of course I'm thinking "how the hell did that turn on?". Of course I go to check and it's off and was just a mocking bird. It then proceded to make that noise for the rest of the day.
