Question

Do ravens have happiness hormones (endorphins, serotonin, dopamine)?

Answer 1

Yes, Ravens heve happiness hormones such as endorphins, serotonin and dopamin.

Surfing Ravens have low level of serotonins but have high levels of dopamin and endrophins as they dipped and weaved (fly) on the air currents. These hormones motivate, reward and shape their play just as they affect other animals activities , making them possible and gives them fun.

In birds (Raven) the play (flying in air) is a cerebral workout. This cordinate emotional and physical responses to their living and environment. By this way they make critical neural connections among essential parts of brain involved in memory, emotion and sensory integration. These mental abilities are useful in guiding a Raven through assertive, interactive, deceptive and appeasing interactions with its mate, offsprings, neighbours etc while feeding, commuting and roosting.
