I have noticed lately that my three budgies are often arranging themselves in a golden ratio triangle. And less often an equilateral triangle. Especially when they sing.

I have read here and there that humans are naturally drawn to things with the golden ratio, and often design things(unconsciously or consciously) and create art according to the golden ratio.

It seems to be built into nature,and living beings can sense it.

The golden ratio stuff is mostly a myth.

The golden ratio is in everything that is not chaotic.

I have noticed lately that my three budgies are often arranging themselves in a golden ratio triangle. 

My brother used to keep canaries and other finches. He found that at a certain time of the year, the would congregate and roost at the south side of the aviary. It was all to do with migration.
