Migratory Birds' Compass: The 'Sixth Sense' of Biology

Bird Consevation? Really

I think that many animals have sixth senses that we humans don't poses or understand. I also feel its problematic when we we experiment with live animals from an ethical point of view. If the original problem was conservation of these birds. I don't think changing the birds behavior by doing vivisection on them is the solution. If we are causing the problem then I think our behavior needs to change. Maybe we can start cutting nerves in our own heads until we find the selfish cells that make us not good citizens of planet Earth. After a few vivisections we would change our behavior and find these bird conservation problems going away ;)
