"Animal" communication
I was noticing the "flee" reflex in pigeons is typified by a burst of emotion, of "fright/flee", and that when one puts it out, others have a choice in responding, but if a few more join in, the mass engages.

One may wonder how flocks of birds and fish synchronize so very well, seemingly invisibly...well, the emotional field is seemingly invisible (yet tell yourself that it isn't real when you're really hurting) yet is an important part of "pack" co-operation.

Attention is highly under-considered. It is the energy of our focus, of our intent. Children want the complete attention of their parents and know when they're not getting it. Those in love may sit for an hour staring into each others' eyes, trading the full energy of attention and its intimacy. Animals are similar but depend up on it more fully, more functionally. With us, it can be the anomaly, not the norm. I suggest that part of the genius of a group of artists performing in obviously inspired harmony/chemistry is partly to do with shared emotion/attention at a group level, and of course it also involves group connection to aspects of the fifth vibrational dimension.


Humans are born fully emotionally open, at full emotional "volume". Only later do we seek to damped its aspects (and correlating usefulness).

Just some observations offered in partial synthesis.

3. That's pretty good
and don't worry, I don't have any followers :rofl:

I'm merely interested in learning more about the so-called hidden depths of our world, most especially, about our differently-shaped brothers and sisters, who are quite complex in their own ways, ways in which we usually are unaware. It's recently been learned that honeybees navigate by the sun, even when it's not visible, and obviously, the pigeons are highly aware of each other as a survival and social mechanism.

I'm interested in more empaths and visionaries posting their experiences with our bretheren...

4. Ever read 'Wicked"?
I read it years ago, reading it again now. Animals. Been living closely with some for a few years now. Sometimes they are just animals, but sometimes I have seen them be Animals. You gotta read the book.

Cheers and best wishes to you.

2. Wolf Pack
The synchronized hunt of a wolf pack comes to mind, focusing on the prey drive emotion and feeling each others movements. That translates to herding dogs occupying the attention field of their masters to move huge herds of animals with seemingly small efforts.

I have had a cat in the past, and a dog presently, that "know" when I'm nearing home before they can hear my car.

Just a thought. Animals do this naturally because they think in emotion, we think in pesky words and get all slowed down, that's my opinion only though.

5. The most amazing video of starlings
thousands of them flying in formation, which they do every evening where the video was filmed in Scotland. It is so beautiful and magical.

6. It's a bit like liquid in zero-gravity, almost like pseudopods...
I actually stopped thinking for a few moments and just watched. Thank you for this.

7. Noting in even larger flocks, the division between groups going one way
and groups going another...and when portions of one group fluidly join another...birds indeed function from high emotional awareness of others of their kind.

I note in captive birds, an unhappiness if they do not receive the same kind of extreme emotional contact/connection/communing they'd experience as part of a flock, all day long. Especially in the very large parrots, who sometimes destroy themselves. If you have a bird, or any pet, please spend adequate time loving them silly. As the song says, take time to make just one someone happy.
