Do Birds Exhibit Mental Illnesses?
Ornithological experts have recently begun to question whether certain
birds exhibit signs of metal illnesses. According to Erma Evertrue, DVM, Professor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia, certain species are being studied. “You take the cardinal and the jays,” Dr. Evertrue said. “They always seem perfectly normal going about their business in an efficient, highly evolved manner. “However, on the other hand,” continued Dr. Evertrue in a recent interview with The Atlanta Constitution, “there are other species which exhibit what appears to be abnormal behavior. In particular, we are studying the species Krausii Liesallthetime Marylandus. This bird often exhibits neurotic, sometime even psychotic behaviors that are not considered normal in the natural world. “We can’t attribute the aberrant behaviors of the species Krausii Liesallthetime Marylandus,” Dr. Evertrue explained, “to any evolutionary advantage for the species. Therefore we suspect the species carries a mutant gene that somehow manifests itself in deviant, counterproductive behaviors.” Dr. Erma Evertrue is avian medicine department head of the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia. Additional experts are being consulted. More to follow as warranted. |
