Even poutry have intuition
Yesterday I spent a lovely afternoon talking with a farmer about life conditions in isolated places. He told me that in his village there were no electricity nor roads when he was a child. Furthermore, the closest road was at a 12 hour travel by horse. While we talked he made many interruptions to went in and out of his house. During that time all the birds walked around searching for insects and green grass. Suddenly the man said to me - I think they're hungry - and went inside the house once again. But this time everything was different because all the birds, specially the hens, get closer to the door and start behaving in a strange way, like they were nervous. I shocked because I realized that they probably were capable to detect some signs in the movements of their owner which mean to them: It's lunch time! As a city guy I was awe, but the farmer didn't show any surprise, he just said: they know. Back in the city I could't stop thinking about that experience: if birds don't understand human language what kind of phenomena explain what I saw. For me, the most reasonable explanation is a form of animal intuition.
If poultry have intuition, hence humans must to have too right?

Yesterday, I spent a lovely afternoon talking with a farmer about life living conditions in isolated places. He told me that, in his village, there were was no electricity nor roads when he was a child. Furthermore, the closest road was at a 12 twelve-hour travel journey by horse.
While we talked, he made many interruptions to went go (<--Infinitivo) in and out of his house. During that time, all the birds walked around searching for insects and green grass. Suddenly, the man said to me, "I think they're hungry," and went inside the house once again, but this time, everything was different because all the birds, especially the hens, get got closer to the door and started behaving in a strange way, like they were nervous.

Fascinating story, Sebastian! I'm glad I read it. I don't know if we have intuition or not (certainly, many women have claimed to possess "women's intuition," but as a man, I cannot speak for them), but I do hope my corrections help. Please let me know if you have any questions =)

Yesterday, I spent a lovely afternoon talking with a farmer about living conditions in isolated places. He told me that in his village there was no electricity or roads when he was a child. Furthermore, the closest road was 12 hours away by horse. [Variant: ... was 12 hours away on/by horseback.] While we talked, he often interrupted our conversation to go in and out of his house. During that time, all the birds walked around searching for insects and green grass. Suddenly, the man said to me, "I think they're hungry," and went inside the house once again. [Variant: .. and entered the house once again.] But this time everything was different, because all the birds, especially the hens, drew/got [1] closer to the door and started behaving in a strange way, as if they were nervous. I was shocked, because I realized that they probably were capable of detecting some signs in the movements of their owner, which meant to them: It's lunchtime! As a city guy, [2] I was in awe, but the farmer didn't show any surprise; he just said, "They know." Back in the city, I could't stop thinking about that experience: if birds don't understand human language, what kind of phenomenon can explain what I saw. For me, the most reasonable explanation is a form of animal intuition.If poultry have intuition, hence humans must have it too, right?
[1] "draw close" - acercarse
[2] "City slicker" es una expresión despectiva, pero no mucho, para referirse a un habitante de la ciudad que no sabe nada de la vida rural.
