This really is a wonderful summation of the beauty and value of drawing from life, especially drawing birds from life. I'm fairly new to drawing birds from life but I do know the excitement of working from life. It is more than just a sense of urgency, though that is certainly there. Something also seems to happen on an almost neurological level as you say. You learn in a way that I think really hasn't even been named yet. Back when I used to teach art I pleaded with my students not to work from photos. Ironically I now do so myself quite a bit right now, but more out of necessity than choice. If I were still teaching art this entry is one of the first places I'd point students. Better late than never with this comment!

I had chickens when I was a kid, and a cockatiel for a brief period until a roommate left a window open (I still miss the bird, but not the roommate). I don’t have any pet birds currently.
