Yes, bland agrees with you and is glad you enjoyed the article. He thought you would.

A bit further out but no less interesting:

Bland wonders if this bird is not actually picking up somehow on chemical changes in the owner's body (evidenced by subtle changes in personal odor given off from moment to moment, perhaps) based on the owner's emotional responses to various stimuli.

In other words, perhaps "extra-sensory perception" should actually be defined as "extraordinary sensory perception": i.e., there is plenty of sensory information available out there to "tell us" what is happening, we are just not tuned in well enough to it to understand we are even getting it at all. We do know the receptors of other species are *frequently* tuned differently than our own, but we have no direct idea how this may actually affect and influence their perceptions of the world as they experience it.
