I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

Well, how do you know the "noises" animals make isn't music to them, and just noise to you?

I know my ways. So just stay back.

Cockatoos can.

Godshatter: I can go all the way with someone without being attracted to them.
CamCamm: How does that work?
Godshatter: I'm easily aroused by anything that moves. It's a curse.

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

I often wonder this. Whenever I play my guitar with the windows open in my room I always see an abundance of animals show up. Birds roost in tree branches, at my eye level, and squirrels climb up as well to catch a glimpse of the action. I genuinely think they're appreciating it or at the very least intrigued enough to care to come have a look. Either way, I find it endearing and rather amusing.

Because this is what happens when you give animals music.

Silly man, WE are animals.

Interesting question. I would guess some animals have a sense of rhythm like humans.

I recall hearing somewhere that animals like music that closely matches their natural rhythms. For example, researchers found that dogs don't really like the music we listen to, as it is too slow compared to their natural rhythms. When they played faster music, researchers found that dogs preferred that tempo.

Countless studies have been done (official and unofficial, but chiefly the latter) to show that animals do react differently to different music. So whether they appreciate it or not would be up to that particular animal, I suppose.
