Because big brains are aerodynamically impractical?
- dotancohen 4y agoIt would probably be more of a weight issue that an aerodynamic issue. And not for the brain itself, but rather for the strong neck necessary to support a large organ so far from the body's center of mass while in flight. It might put evolutionary pressure to reduce the neck length, which would have far reaching consequences for birds.
