THIS ACCOUNT HAS MOVED@Wolven really interesting work
@noplasticshower nope; I'd start by emailing the research team
@Wolven do you have a paper citation??
Lisa Fast@Wolven that is so wonderful! โTwo sickly, elderly male macaws paired together in the study had scarcely seen another macaw in their lives, yet formed a deep bondโdancing and singing enthusiastically together through the screen.โ

teledyn ๐@Wolven I do wonder, though, how did the social media algorithms react? Adverts for crackers?
Claire Barnes@Wolven Thanks! The earlier article linked there is fascinating too: https://news.northeastern.edu/2023/04/28/magazine/cockatoo-parrot-reading/

This is so wonderful!
Coincidence: I just wrote something about humans underestimating animals feelings. We often hear 'We shouldn't anthropomorphise animals' but each time I hear that I cringe. I think it's sheer arrogance to think animals are not capable of having similar feelings. Most are creative and enjoy things they come up with themselves, they can be sad, happy, et cetera. This kind of research really helps โค
