\n They\u2019re ready for Birdland.<\/p>\n

Humans aren\u2019t the only ones who draw musical inspiration from drugs. According to new research, starlings dosed with small amounts of fentanyl belt out \u201cgregarious\u201d songs akin to \u201cjazz.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHere we\u2019ve shown that opioids cause singing behavior,\u201d Lauren Riters, a biologist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, told the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

While birds have long been known to sing for a soulmate or to mark their territory, the research team theorized that they also chirp for joy as well, such as when they\u2019re in a flock. And these wellbeing-induced warbles sound a lot like \u201cfree form songs,\u201d said Riters, who spearheaded the buzzy study published in the journal Nature.<\/p>\n

Indeed, unlike the stock mating calls emitted by their counterparts, schooling starlings experiment with \u201cdifferent songs, they order and reorder and repeat song sequences, they add and drop notes,\u201d Riters said.<\/p>\n

To first prove that they croon when content, the scientists decorated a space and placed a flock of European starlings inside after they had just sung. They then gave them the option of returning to the adorned birdhouse or an undecorated location. The birds spent longer in the former, suggesting they linked it with the happ<\/a>iness they experienced from singing.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur results suggest that birds sing because they feel good, and that singing helps them to maintain this positive state,\u201d said Riters, who postulated that the happy effect was caused by pleasure-linked chemicals in the brain.<\/p>\n

The researchers tested this theory by giving the starlings low levels of fentanyl \u2014 a widely-abused narcotic known to artificially trigger the reward response generated by social<\/a>izing, eating and mating. Go figure: the buzzed birds immediately replicated the rapturous chirps heard when they flock.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but scientists could even dial down the jubilant tunes by using chemicals to turn off their opioid receptors.<\/p>\n

From this study, scientists deduced that opioids may have facilitated these jazz numbers by eliciting natural pleasure chemicals in starlings.<\/p>\n

However, the unorthodox research isn\u2019t just for the birds. These ornithological opioid binges are revealing a prehistoric part of the brain \u201cthat regulates intrinsically rewarded social behaviors across many animals,\u201d said Riters.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
