Did I read the study correctly? The brains were actually bigger but a smaller percentage of body weight?

Biggest birds tended to have biggest brains, but brains of biggest birds tended to be proportionally smaller relative to the larger bodies. I think they were selecting for size as well; the calmer birds appear to be larger. It can be hard to select for one trait only, especially when multiple loci involved.
