Episode notes

There's something really special about crows. I encourage people who just think of them as these like icky trash birds to watch them. They mate for life, and they can live to be 17 years old. And you'll see one bird kind of tilt its head down, and the other one will use its beak,. The aloe preening is the main way that birds do that - which means mutual grooming.

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.
