So some birds are kind of ambivalent.

They're kind of like, eh, you know, whatever.

Whereas others are just, they will not even, you know, look at the other color, touch the other color.

And so it really depends.

The birds who have really strong preferences will just ignore, you know, what their friends are doing.

They don't care what anybody else does.

They're sticking with what they like.

Whereas these other birds are,

where they kind of don't care you know maybe they like pink a little they like green a little they use a little bit of both we see that they will change their mind and that they will you know copy their friends and and stick to the the flock basically um if they don't care so much

Yeah, so I had the same questions when I first saw these results, seeing how, you know, they could have a flock of birds doing something else and they're like, you know, forget them.

I love pink.

But then when I thought about humans and how we behave, kind of like how you mentioned with the Lego, it made sense to me.

I mean, I think we all know someone where you're like...

Doesn't matter what I tell them.

This person is never changing their mind.

You know, might be politics or religion or something that really matters to this person.

Or even, you know, concepts we have within ourselves.

I know I have strong opinions about some things.

And so in humans, we see that if we have these strong opinions, it doesn't really matter what other people say.

And so I think it's kind of the same with birds, right?
