Episode notes

Go was a bird that I did one of my subjects for my first field experiment. It had gotten used to me, you know, coming every day and putting food on the ground. And so after the experiment ended, go would always fly over to me and be like, hey, what's up? Can I get that peanut? She died last year; she was banded when somebody found her body.

Crows have funerals? CROWS HAVE FUNERALS. The inky black bird with the big brain warns and maybe mourns around their fallen friends and Dr. Kaeli Swift is here to tell us all about it. As an avid wildlife researcher and corvid specialist, she's observed death behaviors that will shock you to your bones and ruffle your hackles -- while somehow also making you cry about peanuts. Also: so much inspiration to keep being yourself and to work hard toward what you love. She is a hero.
