5. 'Nervous' birds take more risks
   10-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists have shown that birds with higher stress levels adopt bolder behavior than their normally more relaxed peers in stressful situations. A University of Exeter research team studied zebra finches, which had been selectively bred to produce three distinct types -- "laid-back," "normal" and "stressed." The group was surprised to find that the "stressed" birds were bolder and took more risks in a new environment than the group that was usually more laid-back.
