New paper: ravens use wild boars as “first tasters” to check if a foraging site is safe. They reduce risk by watching others eat first, foraging in groups, or stealing instead of taking chances. These tactics may help scavengers adapt to changing environments 🌍. doi.org/10.1093/behe... 📸 Daniel Koch

The European Central Bank is redesigning the Euro banknotes and has a shortlist of 10 designs, 5 of which are bird themed! Now they're running a public survey to help them decide on the winner. If you're of the correct opinion that birds absolutely should be on our money, go vote for the birdies:

It was our pleasure to have a guest talk on macaw numerical cognition from @jimeloism.bsky.social, visiting us from Uni Buenos Aires. Had a great roundtable after about international differences in academia and then a fun time at Nice Guys pub (they were in fact, nice guys)! Thx UBB for hosting 😊

I was so pleased that so many folks turned out on a very hot and muggy Friday in July to give @jimeloism.bsky.social such a warm welcome to our city. I was also very lucky to get to spend some time with her one on one 🥰 Shes an extremely cool person 😁
