I mot only believe birds and other animals have a sense of humor, but also they can be offended by our actions. I know of a pet parrot, reared from almost the nest that is entirely free to come and go of its own free will. It was decided to get a pal for her, to share some space when she visited, usually at night for some periods during the day <br /><br />On introductions the intended companion to her she let out an almighty screech of indignation and flew off in huff to stay in a nearby tree for 2- 3 weeks before returning. The birds was rather obviously offended to think it's human friends would conceive it would have any interest in just another bird as a companion !! hence it sulked for few weeks to return only when the intended bird companion was gone. <br />best wishes Lindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-22028800873526969042015-08-18T11:22:32.479+10:002015-08-18T11:22:32.479+10:00I believe that birds and other animals have a sens...I believe that birds and other animals have a sense of humor.<br />I believe that the color blue wasn't seen until 1700.<br />I believe that a woman named Grrllbrg first harnessed fire.<br />I believe that a man called Fstbngrr invented the wheel.<br />I believe Antarctica was once inhabited.<br />I believe the Big Bang is a myth of convenience.<br /> <br />Thank goodness we don't have to prove our beliefs.<br />Best wishes, Lindsay.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-12633096805759750682015-08-17T22:02:20.614+10:002015-08-17T22:02:20.614+10:00Hi Tom,

We have dignity but not deity and so he proposes a faith based humility laced with scepticism to help inform his research and writing. <br />Best wishes <br />Lindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-30604323599385285782015-08-16T20:36:41.555+10:002015-08-16T20:36:41.555+10:00Oh dear!

To summarise, I particularly liked Carolyn Porco, J Craig Ventor and David G Myers. Maria Spiropula had nothing to say to me, particularly as an experimental physicist.
