That understanding is known in the【C2】______as having a " theory of mind, " and it is considered the【C3】______to such cherished human【C4】______as sympathy and deception.

An experimenter in front of the barrier【C15】______his head and eyes in a particular【C16】______and gazed for 10 seconds before looking【C17】______. Dr Heinrich found that all the birds were able to follow the gaze of the experimenters, even【C18】______the barrier. In the【C19】______case, the curious birds either jumped down from the perch and walked around the barrier to have a【C20】______or leapt on top of it and peered over.
