Dude. Birds always try to fly into windows. It doesnt necessarily mean hes tripping. Theres a bird that does something similar every afternoon at my grandparents house. Its not because hes tripping, its because he wants more birdseed.

I don't know...the odds of him eating a shitload of mycelium and then randomly beating himself against my window for a week straight aren't that good. Besides, he wouldn't be wanting more birdseed, because its not nearly gone yet...so its still sitting there waiting to be eaten.

I'll get a blowgun that shoots psilocybin pellets STAT. If he's not tripping now, he will be soon.

That bird reminds me of a dog one of my friends had - he was a rottweiler. We were all outside discussing whether this raccoon skull we found was actually a mutated eagle that had developed teeth (long story), and when we came back inside, we found he had eaten an eighth of shrooms we had laying out. We were all pissed until he started trying to attack shadows on the wall - that was great fun for like an hour until he cowered in the corner and just sat there snapping at the shadows. Then we figured it'd be smarter to keep the shrooms up high so the dog couldn't get to them.

It's impossible to tell if a bird is "tripping" since they are non-verbal.
A pidgeon can tell however, the difference between an injection of saline and a hallucinogen. Plenty of experiments have shown this.
-------------------- ...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge. It is an indellible experience; it is forever known. I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did. Smith, P. Bull. Menninger Clinic (1959) 23:20-27; p. 27. ...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely. Osmond, H. Annals, NY Acad Science (1957) 66:418-434; p.436

My ex gf had left some blow on her table one time, and her cat sniffed some of the shit up. She said it just sat and stared at her dresser for like 2 hours. And when she'd lock it in her room it would pace around and claw at the door just to get back to it.

@ the topic of cats and hallucinogens, I think a good experiment would be to put a bowl of food with a small dose of whatever hallucinogen and let the cat voluntarily eat the food and trip for a while, and if the cat comes back later to eat more food, you know it likes it.

Theres no guarantee the cat would make that connection, but if it did and still came back for more that wouldnt surprise me at all. Cats are really disturbed animals and they come back for more of things even if they hate it(as long as it stimulated their curiosity). Or is it just my cat?

I was impressed the little dude didn't fall off, he was making some pretty big super-jumps there.
He goes to each window and flits up against it a few times, then moves on, almost as if he's testing it. If he doesn't see the glass, it represents an invisible boundary to an animal that flies freely every day.
Birds evolved around the time that mammals did, we're sort of grown off of the same point. Birds can be pretty dumb, but some birds are really quite intelligent in their own bird way. It makes me wonder what he's getting at.

How much mycelium do you think he ate? I thought it didn't contain any (measurable) amount of actives...

i'd think that it contains enough to make a bird trip since they're a lot smaller than humans

I just thought it didn't contain any. But maybe it's just enough, I guess...

i would think that the fact their brains are much simpler than ours would mean they were less likely to have a bad trip, since a bad trip is only in your mind, anyways it wouldn't do any lasting damage

I think there idea of fear would change, maybe a bad trip for a bird would be its wing falling off, or some animal chasing it. Not something we would find scary, but a little bird would probably freak the fuck out.
