    Bird Behavior and Emotional Contagion

    • Birds exhibit emotional contagion, reacting to a startled bird by flying off.
    • They do not assess the threat, but react instinctively.
    • Research on western evening grosbeaks showed that birds in a circle displayed more coordinated scanning behaviors than those in a line.
    • Grosbeaks in a line exhibited increased nervousness.
    • They altered their body and head positions more frequently compared to birds in a circle.
    • The lack of visibility between grosbeaks in a line limited their ability to see and assess their flockmates' reactions, making it more challenging to observe emotions or coordinated actions from distant flockmates.
