Episode notes

This episode is about crow funerals. So do they show up in bales? Do they demand to see will and testaments? Do they confess to long term affairs with the dead's best friend? What are some other ways that crows mourn the dead? I mean, I know that they leave sticks, they might circle and caa. Are there any other things that you have witnessed in the wild that you're like, what? Not really.

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.
