Upon exploration, I detected a farm - The Lanehead Sheepdog and Falconry Centre. The owner explained that having heard the melody of a flute helps calm his falcons and sheep. It was intriguing to experiment whether their temperament really was affected by music. My sensors showed sheep laying calmly as the owner played his instrument. Interesting to note was that the falcons were found unphased though bird calls continue to be shown effective. I wonder how music serves human's psychological balance; Does it do the same for them as animal keepers?
