Don't know how many got a chance to see this the other night but I found it interesting. A segment on PBS Nova that features Zebra finches in understanding how brains process and produce speech (and obviously song)

Re: Nova
That is REALLY awesome. That was a good clip. I only have 1 Zebra and he is not a stutterer.
Goulds, Owls, Gold Breasts, Stars, Zebras, Societies
An obscene number of chicks and eggs
And an incredibly rare St. Goldena Breast finch
Anyone want some finches???
