Bird Brain submitted by lstorc on July 6, 2019, 9:09pm This is wicked (the good kind)! It's intense enough to hold the viewer and also filled with really cool facts!

professional submitted by kevinhe on July 22, 2019, 4:02pm just heard the bird experts of University of California talking about their study on bird brain on NPR. it's so interesting to study the intelligence of pigeon by watching their reaction to different cookies (not so sure no).
