Re: Tool-Using Avian Dinosaurs... :-)

You know that a bird brain is structured completely differently from a 
mammal brain, right?   Far less space, and far greater efficiency.   I think 
a mammal brain the same size and weight is mostly full of water, so - yeah, 
it would weigh alot.    LOL!

My budgies know this.    I'm constantly getting "Mammal Brain" looks from 
them.   (I'm just good for bringing them seed - and all that goofy mammal 
brained nutritious stuff I try to feed them.)

Mammals and dinosaurs diverged at nearly the bottom of the land animal 
family tree, and the difference is amazing.
