I feel like this whole podcast has been the answer to that question. I mean, the thing I love most about crows is that they are so interesting and they are full of surprises. Getting to talk to people about this animal and watch them light up when they're like, Oh, can I tell you my crow story? Or just that moment of people saying, wow, I guess crows are maybe cooler than I thought. That shift is how we build empathy with the natural world. So, you know, all of those things, that that's why I do it, that'swhy I love it.
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.
