Wow, the bird got retarded after you CUT PART OF ITS BRAIN OUT? Wow, amazing! I never could have guessed that!

Before studies, invasive studies...interesting...can't you just listen to them to figure that out? This is retarded research and should be against the law. Let's listen to you and see how you feel with a brain probe. I'll bet you would love it! Research with logic and common sense...let's do it! Wow, what a f'n idea!

You fail to understand research methods and the point of science.

Honestly, they couldnt figure this out with common sense?

It is far more interesting that surgery is not even required to achieve the same result on certain humans.

What the hell. they have to learn all over again. harsh much. poor birds... :(

[blaque7]

wow wtf was the point of that. Why would they give a bird brain surgery to find out where the part of the brain controls their communication. Scientist are assholes

[trickyssx]

Good point. No animal is sentient, that's kinda what makes us human.

[adrastea99]
