5 Birds That Will Blow Your Mind
5 Birds That Will Blow Your Mind- Behold the Turducken; a chicken, stuffed in a duck, stuffed in a turkey. But while impressive, it's old news. There are birds out there that go way beyond the once-innovative turducken.
1. The Ten-Bird Roast
This behemoth Ten-Bird Roast comes from UK celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, which he prepared on his program for his medieval Christmas special. He makes it all sound so very easy: "You need a whole free-range turkey (10-12kg is about the right size) and a whole goose (6-7kg). And then a selection of eight to 10 smaller birds, all plucked and drawn (i.e., oven ready). You don't need all the smaller birds to be different - you could use, say, three pheasants and five pigeons. So choose from the following: farmed duck, mallard, guinea fowl, chicken, pheasant, partridge, pigeon, woodcock. Please do not use very high or well-hung game birds, as they will contaminate the subtle flavours of the other birds." As if we, in the States, have these birds at our local supermarket. But if you do dare to try his undertaking, then be sure to watch his video which details the entire process from feather to plate.

The Most Revealing Psych Experiments
Psychology is the study of the human mind and mental processes in relation to human behaviors - human nature. Due to its subject matter, psychology is not considered a 'hard' science, even though psychologists do experiment and publish their findings in respected journals. Some of the experiments psychologists have conducted over the years reveal things about the way we humans think and behave that we might not want to embrace, but which can at least help keep us humble. That's something.
1. 'Lord of the Flies': Social Identity Theory
The Robbers Cave Experiment is a classic social psychology experiment conducted with two groups of 11-year old boys at a state park in Oklahoma, and demonstrates just how easily an exclusive group identity is adopted and how quickly the group can degenerate into prejudice and antagonism toward outsiders.Researcher Muzafer Sherif actually conducted a series of 3 experiments. In the first, the groups banded together to gang up on a common enemy. In the second, the groups banded together to gang up on the researchers! By the third and final experiment, the researchers managed to turn the groups on each other.

Boxing Kangaroos!
A flurry of blows sees both creatures' heads knocked backwards as they struggle to maintain their balance. Faint lassos of spittle unfurl through the air, tribute to the ferocity of the fight; a torn ear testament to past battles. It beats photographer Julian Robinson how these battling beasts survive such encounters, but survive they do. Male kangaroos are known for their pugilistic prowess and they share a boxer's upright stance and combat skills. Bouncing nimbly on powerful hind legs, sizing each other up, the two opponents launch sudden combinations, jabbing and grappling with lightning forelegs to gain the advantage, then lashing out with raking kicks – haymakers far more devastating than any man's. Each razorsharp hind claw has the potential to disembowel the other animal. It's as well each kangaroo's organs are protected by tough skin and a thick layer of abdominal tissue. When these body blows land, the loud thumps are like the beating of a tribal drum.
