if you could make any group/species of animal talk, which would pick?

@WaryWitchWandering yeah. and I feel like most other dogs are generally alright. like not many would be up for saying a buncha stuff you just wouldn't want to hear. well, except for some of those yippy ones. they'd never shutup.

@Quoththeraven yeah. I think I heard you have to do something called 'freeing the tongue', which is probably terrible. I kinda wish I saw more ravens around here.

@greensnacks hrm. I'd have not thought of them as an option. I wonder if they'd all give the same answers for things from the same group... hive mind kinda thing.

@Neuman they have a queen, so I guess. And the mind must be shared in one big pool of thoughts. Hence the deployment of destruction drones would be wayyyy easier than independent thinkers

@Lostpoet that's a reasoning path that I don't think I follow.

@ChipmunkErnie yeah, they seem like they'd have interesting things to say. this question occurred to on the drive home, I was trying to remeber some foreign phrased usually used like how most wastern/english speakers say 'once upon a time' and I'd thought it was 'back when animals could talk' or maybe 'back when dogs would speak'... turns out it was from Korean: Once, in the old days, when tigers smoked...
