Anthropomorphism has long been used as a big bad thing, the catchall excuse to keep animals as the stupid things they were supposed to be. We're coming back from that thankfully.
It doesn't mean the animals function the same way we do. But they do function in a lot of very similar ways.
My point is I can't see how they can "gossip" or "tell stories", if that isn't textbook anthropomorphism I don't know what that is.
It's shorthand for information sharing. Which they certainly do. Crows will absolutely tell one another about lots of stuff, such as people that have harmed them.
