RE: Someone Calling you Birdbrain? Don't be Offended. Intelligence Part 2.
Hello @flyyingkiwi, that was a very nice read.
It is amazing how size doesn't matter at all, even though elephants and birds utilize the same type of 'technology' (brain neurons and synapses). Very inteesting how the location of neurons is much more important than the total number.
Thanks for the information!
From the research that has been done, it seems that bird brains are actually more efficiently organized than ours, both in the way the neurons are packed in, and also in the overall structure. Maybe we are lucky they are a lot smaller:)
I guess we are lucky then. I just can't picture this planet being run by birds. However it might be better for the planet itself considering how much we've already destroyed the planet's natural environment.
