Do African Grey Parrots Help Each Other Without Reward? Yes. In a controlled 2020 study, African grey parrots voluntarily passed metal tokens to a partner so the partner could exchange them for food, even when the helper could not get a reward. The behavior meets the definition of prosocial helping and was not seen in a comparison macaw species in the same setup (Current Biology). What is the African grey parrot helping study?

Parrots playing good Samaritan? In lab tests, African greys passed tokens to help a partner score treats, with no payoff for themselves. What does that say about avian empathy? #AfricanGreyParrot #Altruism #AnimalCognition #ProsocialBehavior #TokenExchange

Mindfulness boosts generosity only for group-oriented individuals A new study suggests that mindfulness doesn’t make everyone more helpful. People who see themselves as connected to others tend to be more generous when mindful, while highly independent individuals m...

Mindfulness is not the only factor in social engagement. As is often shared here, people are unique and complex, and the influence of state mindfulness is just as complex and varied. #mindfulness #socialengagement #prosocialbehavior #generosity #kindness #altruism

Chimpanzees in Uganda tend wounds, take care of one another and free each other from snares—sometimes helping unrelated individuals.

Field evidence now suggests the origins of this care may predate Homo.
