      i just today saw a video of a stickbug freaking out because a caterpillar was crawling on it. i’d say you have to be at least a little intelligent to dislike an experience.
      you seem to forget that insects are very small and live very different lives than we do, and whatever intelligence is there may be very hard for us to recognize.
      you can’t say a fish can’t feel pain just because it can’t scream. well, you can’t say an insect isn’t intelligent just because it can’t look you in the eye.
      and sure, moths are attracted to light. but that’s not because they’re stupid! they evolved to navigate by moonlight, and our streetlamps and such have simply developed faster than they have evolved to compensate. it confuses the most basic part of their brain as they’re trying to fly. humans can be confused and hypnotized from basic instincts, too.
      insects live in a different world than us. we happen to have the ability to control many aspects of their world, which in turn affects the way they react to it. i think it’s a mistake to assume we’ve done the equivalent of program some biological computer, as if just because they have exoskeletons they are machines. we’ve simply changed their conditions, and some of the conditions we change may not be changes they have evolved to cope with. that doesn’t mean they’re not intelligent.
      you can imagine huge aliens abducting us, and taking us to some dark room and watching us bump into each other, and say “oh, how stupid, they can’t see in the dark,” you know, “look, they’ve all stopped moving” (because we can’t see what we’re doing) “they’re so stupid they think they’re dead!”
      i’m not saying bugs are super smart, mind you. i’m just saying that having the ability to navigate 3D space is proof enough of intelligence in my book. consciousness, even, if not self-awareness.

    I have seen intelligence, bravery, heroism, gallantry, charm, flirtatiousness. leadership, collaboration, obedience, nobility, and spirituality, all in my chickens. If you were every creature's dream dinner, you would understand the level of alertness he saw as stupidity. Chickens can't afford depth of thought. But they do pay attention, and their inner structure has built - in virtues we might envy.

It will be quite knocked out; it won't do tricks. Then give it a little push up its rear end and watch it meander away. I have seen it done; it's quite amusing.

    My chickens are very stupid indeed, but contrasting this they also at times show great intelligence, just in their own niche of intelligence.
    For instance: they learn new food sources and remember them sometimes having been only being exposed to the source one time.
    Also I find they are highly coordinated which does take a good bit of processing power I imagine.
