Vogels zijn verbluffend intelligente wezens. Diezelfde papegaaien die ons het woord 'papegaaien' hebben bezorgd, praten ons niet alleen na, maar blijken te kunnen antwoorden, rekenen en spellen. Sommige kraaiensoorten lossen ingewikkelde puzzels op en maken ingenieuze werktuigen.

Vogels vertonen indrukwekkende sociale vaardigheden. Ze bedriegen en manipuleren. Ze spelen luistervink. Ze hebben een groot gevoel voor rechtvaardigheid. Ze geven cadeautjes. Ze spelen. Ze plagen. Ze delen. Ze onder...

And yet there is a better way of experiencing this ultimate phenomenon. The Hypagasm is a neurophysiological process unknown to science until now, discovered over 15 years ago.

The effect is felt greatest in the head, whereas most normal orgasms are highly localised around the genitals. The Hypagasm spreads out through the entire body, producing muscle spasms, intense muscle contractions and contortions and an incredible high....
