If talking about time, do you not have to make a distinction between physical time and a creature's sense of time.
Most creatures have self awareness, it seems to be a biological brain construct, but the self awareness of a bird may let it experience time more quickly and be able to evade those 'slower' than it (even though both have the same neuronal speed).
It would represent an important evolutionary advantage that may be a feature of successful aliens.
And once the mechanism of self awareness is understood, any advanced culture would also be able to scientifically adjust the rate that time is experienced.
