Go was a bird that i did my one o, you know, one of my subjects for my first field experiment. It had gotten used to me coming every day and putting food on the ground,. So they sort of continue to like me after the study ends. And so after the experiment ended, go would always fly over to me and be like, "What's up? Am i going to get that peanut?" I don't know why i picked them, but chickades like, what? What? Homeya?
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.
