Is this the right question?No. It's more irritating now because I backtracked on the first statement and didn't want to offend after realizing that I might have. Then I got to your second part.Let's not take that road.What road?The one that involves asking questions that have the substance of a sack of potatoes. Surely you've got something to ask of me with more merit than that.Assuming I can remember all the bits and pieces, I have things to say. And I feel like saying them for once.But I don't like exclaiming things out into the open on my own spontaneously because it's jarring for everybody involved.Can birds get epilepsy?I believe so. Cats and dogs can. I don't see why birds couldn't.However, birds have drastically shorter lifespans than cats or dogs so their chances of developing a condition like it is minimal.Why do birds have shorter lifespans?Faster heart rate, more energy expendature in their actions. A body of that size spending so much energy needed to keep itself alive is going to burn out faster than something that lives an easier going lifestyle.Do you think we should genetically engineer birds that live longer?No. You try to modify the natural system as it functions and you create a domino effect. The stronger the modification, the stronger the domino effect.Longer living birds with no slowed reproduction abilities would lead to a population explosion, over consumption, and then collapse, which then put more strain on other species that revolve around the consumption of those birds in some form.Do you think that with longer lifespans a significant number of birds could develop epilepsy, thus preventing the population explosion?No. Epilepsy is a slow development. Not only that, but it takes time to kill. You don't just have a seizure and a fall over dead. It takes time for it to completely break down your system.Let's say it takes 20 years for a bird to pick up epilepsy once it reaches old age with it's new altered lifespan. In that time, it could have had multiple batches of eggs and reproduced a few hundred more of itself. And that's just one bird.What lifespan would you suggest for birds, in order to have them live longer, but not so long that epilepsy won't stop them from reproducing? Keep in mind that we're talking about an avian form of epilepsy that comes on stronger and quicker and is coupled with a mild form of tourettes.I wouldn't. Not my field of specialty, and not our network to tamper with for no reason. I don't mind birds. I like a few of them.But they're birds. I ain't gonna put too much thought into that one. No more birds pls.Do you think that future generations looking back on this conversation while researching extended lifespans in birds would feel a sense of closure at the end of the exchange about birds, or would they feel that questions had been left unanswered?Again, I'm not going to bother thinking too hard on that one. And I'm not going to care either. I asked you for no more bird posting. Don't put me to sleep here. I'm trying to stay awake.Do you think that I would be justified in saying that my previous question wasn't about birds?

Cats and dogs can. I don't see why birds couldn't.However, birds have drastically shorter lifespans than cats or dogs so their chances of developing a condition like it is minimal.Why do birds have shorter lifespans?Faster heart rate, more energy expendature in their actions. A body of that size spending so much energy needed to keep itself alive is going to burn out faster than something that lives an easier going lifestyle.Do you think we should genetically engineer birds that live longer?
