Interesting read - How birds form relationships

[jj287]

I came across an article that many of you will probably appreciate... Although all of us on birdboard already know how intelligent and truly bonded our fids become just from interacting with them, the article actually describes the physiology of birds' brains that allows them to form trusting, loving relationships the exact same way we humans do.
The article's a bit heavy on the science, but I still found it really interesting, so I thought I'd share with you guys too.

I've been interested in the chemical basis of emotions for a while. Thanks for the link! Definitely an interesting read. So when are they going to come up with the chemical that will make me like to hang out with people, instead of birds?!
