The most amazing parents a bird can ask for. Another field season is done - another year of watching flycatchers working endlessly to give these angry fluffballs as much care as possible 🤍🖤 thank you @deryktolman.bsky.social for the beautiful pictures!

Studies of domestic pigeons have taught us lots about cognition, navigation, and genetics. If you’d like to learn why their wild cousins are also worthy of scientific attention, I’ve written a Rock Dove @currentbiology.bsky.social ‘quick guide’: doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2025.01.065

Always nice to talk at the LUOVA doctoral school spring symposium!! This year I presented my first field season and some results on coordination in pied flycatchers 🐦‍⬛
