A bird can naturally know how to build a nest but a dog can’t naturally know how to follow an animal?

? You don’t think animals naturally know how to do things?
Have you ever seen a puppy of a working dog? Pointers will point. The training they receive is what to point, not how. Retrievers will retrieve, herders will herd, trackers will track. But when someone suggests that a dog that has been specifically bred to fight and kill, oh, they were just trained that way. No, they have been specifically selected for aggression and prey drive. It is at best naive and at worst deadly to think that a working dog comes as a blank slate and will only perform actions it has been trained on.
For non-americans, it is about 1 mortgage per kid in full time daycare (45 hours a week) per month. This is not an exaggeration.
I got some free ruckus stuff about a decade ago and only upgraded because I wanted faster APs.
I got a microtik router at least 5 years ago and it has 0 issues.

14·9 months agoIllinois governor JB Pritzker is openly opposing through legislation and trolling. He held a mock press conference stating that Lake Michigan was now Lake Illinois and went to the zoo to negotiate with penguins on tariffs. California governor Gavin Newsom is suing the Trump admin over tariffs.
There were also coordinated protests across the US a couple weeks ago. Every town hall held by Republicans is a complete zoo, so much so that certain reps fear for their life and have stopped holding them.
Federal workers are leaking musk directives and doing their best to stall the doge squad.
Just because Trump hasn’t been removed one way or another from office doesn’t mean that people are doing nothing.
I used to see a lot of “I paid off my student loans in 18 months, here’s how. I saved all my money and got a director job from my FIL / Mom gave me a house / my spouse paid for it. Just work hard and you can too!” I think I saw one legitimate one of “worked hard as a nurse and paid it off in 7 years” out of 10.

It is comparable.
I implore you to look up videos of working dog puppies. Duck hunters don’t get retrievers because they like how they look, they get them because they have been selected over generations on their inherent retrieving drive, which is a natural trait of dogs. You are objectively wrong about these traits not being inheritable. These dogs need to be trained what to retrieve, or what to point, not how to do these things. My sister’s pointer would point piles of shit, she had to train it to point birds.
I’m sorry but you are completely wrong about this topic.
