When birds take a dip in the water, is it to clean their feathers, or is it just plain fun? Come enjoy an entertaining audiovisual presentation given by local author and research scientist Jonathan Balcombe on the topic of his new book Pleasurable Kingdom: Animals and the Nature of Feeling Good. In his new book, Balcombe presents detailed scientific and anecdotal evidence of how specific animals experience pleasure in play, food, sex, touching and love.
