Bird brain logic?

What scares me about this report is, why are they doing research on cannabinoid-blockers anyway? The idea of wiring birds to be cannabinoid-free kind of gives me the creeps. It appears blocking the receptors improved their immediate memory but it came at a terrible price. Starvation.

According to the news release, "When their food is moved, birds without benefit of cannabinoids have trouble imagining where else the food might be." Why would they want to suppress their imaginations except to eliminate their free will?

The study, paid for with your tax dollars, was conducted for the National Institutes of Health. Think about that for a minute. To borrow a phrase from Abnu - This can't be a good thing.
