From the other spectrum... the problem I find with your definition, is you are stating somethng that is biologically impossible.. They do no have hands, they do not have vocal cords.. at least not to where they can speak like we do... But that doesn't stop anything. I mean for all we know the bird are always making fun of us, and saying "when they can speak in a civilized language such as us, then human will be intelligent".. Ya know? You're reason is like Fish aren't intelligent because they don't have lungs... thats sounds more like a stubborn excuse than a thought out answer. (no offense, remember this is a debate)

in·tel·li·gence - the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations
- the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria
- The capacity to know or understand; readiness of comprehension; the intellect, as a gift or an endowment
- Knowledge imparted or acquired, whether by study, research, or experience; general information
That's not my definition. I don't think that a cat, dog, or fish falls under any of that. That makes them pretty dumb to me.
