Hi David M, Birds do all sorts of human-like things. So do many other animals. But IMO whatever they do is attributable to static biological patterns. I look for DQ responses strictly from humans probing the aesthetic unknown such as Pirsig describes in his SODV paper. That's where the evolutionary action is.
