Birds masturbate? What?! Our research, published in Ecology and Evolution is out now, and featured today in The Guardian 🌟

Masturbation among birds is ‘natural’ and should not be punished, say experts

Jan 1st at 00.01, I finally deactivated my account at #TheOtherPlace - starting the new year as I mean to go on. Had stopped posting there a while ago, and still a bit jittery about messaging on social media generally. But, my cat just told me to get over myself, so here we are. 🤷

Wonder how long this tree is going to stay standing...🤔

This 👇. #LongCovid never gets so much as a mention when the government talks about economic inactivity. It drives me ******* insane.

Fellow behavioural ecologists, figure this one out. 🤣

I'm seriously disappointed that Greggs is not here yet.

The Swedish government encourages people to eat a kilo of sweets every Saturday. 😳 This explains a lot about my Swedish friends. 🤣💕 www.theguardian.com/food/2024/no...

What is a post in BlueSky called, a...bleat?! Which is fine because goats are cool.

Please meet my other owner Mei. Her chief occupations in life are to bully her brother, steal cardboard, and look at me with disdain.

It has not taken me long to realise I'm supposed to post cat stuff here. So, BlueSky, meet Totoro.

Well this seems civilised. Hello BlueSky.
