A study, published in *Ecological Economics*, focused on European
residents, and determined that happiness correlated with a specific number
of bird species.

"According to our findings, the happiest Europeans are those who can
experience numerous different bird species in their daily life, or who live
in near-natural surroundings that are home to many species," says lead
author Joel Methorst, a doctoral researcher at the Senckenberg Biodiversity
and Climate Research Center, the iDiv and the Goethe University in
Frankfurt.

The authors calculated that being around fourteen additional bird species
provided as much satisfaction as earning an additional $150 a month.

For the study, researchers used data from the 2012 "European Quality of
Life Survey" to explore the connection between species diversity around
homes, towns and cites, and how it relates to satisfaction. More than
26,000 adults from 26 European countries were surveyed.
