“Most scientists view animals as adapted to their way of life. For instance, a woodpecker is adept at pecking holes in wood and an anteater at eating ants, but few would go so far as to say that woodpeckers actually enjoy knocking holes in trees or anteaters love ants. But when Balcombe sees a starling he says, 'I see not only a creature beautifully adapted to a way of life, I feel the joy of a creature fully alive and crisply aware of life.'”
