Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Love is better than food, if
you’re a pair of great tit.
Is it really love? Researchers in
the UK found that these tiny birds prefer staying together rather than looking
for food alone. Sounds romantic, doesn’t it?
In fact, they seem to be very
smart and insightful. Getting food is of course essential to live for any
animal or bird, but that could be just immediate or short-term benefit. However,
staying together is essential for this species to raise their offspring, which
could be viewed as longer-term benefit.
So they may be smarter and more patient
than just being romantic.
Enjoy reading and thinking if
staying together is romance or benefit.
