Notably, she predicted pied babblers will experience ~86 days/year associated with a risk of lethal dehydration. Bad news for this Kalahari endemic bird 😞 Fiscals and hornbills are at lower risk, but still face future challenges under climate change @manda_babbler @kiwi_sjc

Breeding season is also fight season! Here one female WA magpie submits to another by rolling on her back with her feet in the air. The other female is adopting a typical dominant threat pose above her. Photo: Kito Ridley

@nicholaraihani For example I ask them to critically evaluate the sci effectiveness of a current management technique, what the problem is moving forward with it, & then to write their recommendations on how to solve the problem. I find that ChatGPT can’t deal with this in a comprehensive way 🤣

Our recent review on the potential impact of multiple anthropogenic stressors on avian species. We point out that anthropogenic stressors often occur simultaneously, and thus the joint effects should be considered. Congrats to @G_Blackburn_ and @SoraviaCamilla!
NEW PAPER: Rising temperatures and anthropogenic noise may have additive, synergistic, or antagonistic effects on avian behaviour and cognition. ➡️ #ornithology #cognition #noise #rising_temperatures @G_Blackburn_ @SoraviaCamilla @mandy_ridley #UWA

Spring is in the air, it’s time to get busy! RGMR putting the final touches to her nest - some nice soft inner lining for the long days of incubating ahead! RGMR is a young female from one of our largest groups: 12 birds, 4 breeding females.

Excited to share our latest research, headed by @G_Blackburn_ , that compare individual performance in social and physical cognition task. Does performance align? Read the paper and Grace’s tweet below to find out! @BiolSci_UWA @Ben_Ashton9 @CornishJackdaws
Our new paper investigating if there is a relationship between social and physical #cognitive tasks in #magpies is out now in @SpringerANCO! @mandy_ridley @Ben_Ashton9 @CornishJackdaws
