Eight observers in total, four of which were men and four were women.

And of course, flight initiation distance, FID, of course, the key metric here.

And the researchers did, they attempted to control for a person's height, their clothing, their hair visibility.

And of course, there were other factors involved, you know, the size of a flock, they were approaching a flock of birds, the sort of vegetation that was nearby.

Species relatedness, land use variables was another category.

Oh.

Interesting.

They don't know why this pattern, and it is a pattern, appears.

They're left scratching their heads.

I mean, we're only talking about eight, and that's one of the big limitations here.

Could have, yeah, because you are dealing with, the numbers here are too small.

And the researchers acknowledge that.

They definitely did.

But is that – do all dogs have a similar reaction?

Oh, yeah.

Right.

I've seen some videos of dogs.

You're right.

The children will crawl all over them.

The dog will just lay there and take it basically.
