Episode notes

Since i was a little kid, loved animals and always really gravitated towards science. I could stare at bugs all day. And so reading mind of the raven and being like, i like birds. I like animal behaviour and cognition. There's thiso of birds that now, you know, science is collectively saying, oh, well, i guess we were super wrong about the capabilities of birds like liokat whickras and ravens can do. Did they have to issue an apology to bird win't? Like, fah man, we're sorry. You're, you got great brains. You're doing games over here."

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.
