- Reposted by Mark O’HaraZe Frank is the best, and "the Goffin's cockatoos make the New Caledonian crows look like Old Caledonian crows" (this it's an actual comment on YouTube!) Don't miss this video about our work at the Goffin Lab (and the Tanimbar Lab!) "I've seen a cockatoo. I've seen a cockatoo 🤘"

- A while back @bmioduszewska.bsky.social and I did a bit with the fabulous @drracheldale.bsky.social and Megan Lambert, that you can check out here. As I’m lazy with my socials, they already have an new episode out with @goatswhostare.bsky.social… Also very worth listening to 👍
- Why did some birds evolve to be so clever? Mark O'Hara & Berenika Mioduszewska took on the challenge of studying wild Goffin's cockatoos on a small Indonesian island. Their exciting findings help answer that question. Listen: linktr.ee/wild_behavior_pod Photo: Goffin Lab Tanimbar
