                What part about "colors are made up by your brain" do you not understand
                Colors as we experience them are not objective; "green" is just a range of em wavelengths that we have collectively agreed is green using our set of biological hardware. The idea that colors would be perceived in the same way by different sets of hardware is very small minded and dumb.

                These little dickheads are mean as frick, and rocking eyes you'd think would only exist in a cyberpunk novel. both their eyes each produce a 3 part image. These c**ts keep everything in either a trinocular eyelock or when hunting focus both eyes for hexnocular visual acuity. The photoreceptor thing gets blown out of proportion their eyes are still keyed into very common wavelengths as far as other animals eyes go, but it allows them to see extremely minute color differences with far greater clarity than we do. Likely an evolutionary adaptation for hunting well camouflaged prey in coral reefs and along the sea floor.

Thousands of people keep them in pretty standard enclosures and have no issues. You just need to take some precautions about lighting and such, so that they aren't driven to attacking the walls thinking their own reflection is another shrimp.

                there's a pretty hokey novel called Fragment that's about an island with an isolated hyper predatory ecosystem where just about every animal is descended from cambrian predators. Sea Scoprions that evolved to fill the terrestrial niche of tigers, pseudo mantis shrimps the size of city busses, parasitic disk shaped crustaceans that lob themselves at prey and as they eat them, they offload multiple hermaphroditic generations of their larvae and juveniles so you get eaten alive from the macro to the near microscopic level by all of it's offspring, etc. It's a pretty schlock time but has some good monstrous animal shenanigans.

          train them to spot the red/white armbands

          Corvids can recognize individual human faces, and will tell other crows about them. So if you anger a crow you’ve made an enemy of the whole local population, if you’re nice you made them friends.
          You could probably be able to have them recognize Russians by the arm bands, and they’d spread that knowledge amongst themselves.

                Sauce? Birds obviously have quite complex verbal communication, as do many other animals.

                But nothing comparable to human language. Definitely not on the level where they could describe human facial features to one another. This is provable with simple language acquisition facts. Young birds just don't witness enough communication from their parents nor other sources to possibly learn a complex language, even assuming superhuman learning capability and near-impossible infomation density in their "speech"

      That mine's body is soft plastic, and squeezing it kind of pumps the detonator inside it until it breaks. It might not go off right away if you grab it lightly enough.
      Those things are pretty nasty because there's no way to tell how close it is to detonating. A kid could pick one up and play with it for a couple hours until it suddenly blows their hands off.

            Only works if you know where the mines are, unless you're suggesting you set them up to passively comb the entire country, that could work in tandem with the above. It would be incredibly expensive
            >Aerial drones with image analysis
            lol nope, they can't see underground and these are tiiiiiiiiiiny and designed to look roughly similar to fallen leaves and other floral discards. With regards to disturbed soil, that'd only really work for a week or two or until the first rain.

            Lidar can pen foilage but not earth and is usually a matrix of precise rangefinding. The issue is these are at or below ground level, so LIDAR wouldn't help, it would either blend into the background of the earth or be below it which still renders it undetectable to LIDAR.

            It's possible that if there's some type of wonder-radar we don't know about that's sensitive enough to detect something that tiny or non-ferromagnetic, but that'd be some kinda cutting edge.

    train them to drop them on Russians

      [...]
      how would you train a crow to tell the difference between a vatnik and a ukie?

      See[...]
      Corvids can recognize individual human faces, and will tell other crows about them. So if you anger a crow you’ve made an enemy of the whole local population, if you’re nice you made them friends.
      You could probably be able to have them recognize Russians by the arm bands, and they’d spread that knowledge amongst themselves.

      It might be easier to train them to flag Russian positions without the Russians noticing. Already it has been observed in the wild that crows have learned to flag the position of herbivores to large carnivores in order to benefit from scavenging. Even with wild crows, it would only take light behavioral modification to train crows to do, say, flag positions using the St George ribbon, or with the Z symbol, and because such are such a normal fixture in the area, it would be difficult for Russians to pinpoint what is flagging their position.

              You chip crows on your side, same way you give a military aircraft IFF signals
              Slave munitions to a chipped crow so you know if it dropped it or not
              If they go AWOL or frag your own guys you know which one did it and can terminate them as an example for other chipped crows

    A lot of people really don’t understand how intelligent Corvids are.
    I’m not one of those people who thinks all life is sentient, but if it were somehow proven that Corvids, other great ape species, parrots, whales and dolphins were sentient I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

    It is said that war is a feast for crows; now it looks like the crows have figured out how to get extra helpings by dropping these things in populated areas. Imagine what our pre-gunpowder ancestors would've thought about this.
