For years I've watched American White Pelicans migrate through Kansas by the thousands and wondered what we really know about them. Where do they come from? How far do they travel? How do they breed? And what exactly are they doing when they're soaring thousands of feet overhead? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimee Van Tatenhove, a quantitative ecologist and former pelican researcher whose doctoral work focused on American White Pelicans around the Great Salt Lake. We discuss pelican migration, nesting colonies, feeding behavior, GPS tracking, bird strikes, avian flu, and some of the surprising things scientists have learned by following these birds across North America. We also dive into the challenges facing the Great Salt Lake, including drought, water management, the proposed data center controversy, and why the future of the lake matters to millions of migratory birds. Topics discussed: American White Pelican migration routes GPS tracking and pelican research Breeding colonies and nesting behavior Cooperative feeding and hunting strategies Bird strikes and aviation concerns Avian influenza impacts on waterbirds Great Salt Lake conservation challenges Drought, water use, and habitat loss Data centers and water consumption How pelican populations are changing across North America Whether you're a waterfowl hunter, birder, conservationist, or simply someone who enjoys watching wildlife, this episode offers a fascinating look into one of North America's most remarkable birds.

This is an excerpt from our Masterclass on How to Raise an Ambassador Owl. We added this lesson after fielding many questions about quarantine procedures, and wanted to ensure that an ambassador owl would still have a viable start to their career in conservation education. Here we cover specific signs of illness, potential practices that can lead to stress, and what to do if your facility puts your new ambassador under strict quarantine protocols. For visuals, you can check out our video.

BEEF I've been saying for weeks to stay ahead of your needs, and I'm going to reiterate, stay ahead of your needs, as demand does seem to be ticking up a bit. Weekly harvest is not moving up to help meet that demand. Last week's harvest was 528K head, down from the prior week's 535K head. While middle meats are struggling to move higher, ground beef is on the march higher every day. Retail ground beef is now averaging over $7/# for the first time…ever. I don't see this backing off any time soon. Increases in chucks and rounds are very modest but they are moving higher again. Thin meats, briskets, flanks, sirloin flap, are showing some weakness, we could see a correction on this over the next couple of weeks, but it will be pretty minor. Staying with the theme, keep ahead of your needs. POULTRY Boneless Skinless breasts decline again for next week. Getting to be a pretty big spread between breast meat and tenderloins, tenderloins holding pretty steady. Wings holding steady next week too. Production continues over last year running almost 3% up from over last year. Breast meat is turning into a great value as the price declines. On the Avian flu beat, a really good week, two new cases totaling 11,600 ducks. GRAINS Corn declined this week, closing today at $4.62 down from last week's $4.75 close. Wheat was showing signs of a bit of a run, but that is about done, we could see wheat decline over the next couple weeks. Soy was actually showing some weakness, until Tuesday this week, soy is now on the move higher. This could be short lived, but right now, soy oil is moving up. PORK Pork bellies bottomed out last week at $104. Today's close $112. Still a great value for this time of year, I'm buying bacon. Summer is typically a high demand time for butts and ribs, and both are moving up steadily. Loins continue to be a great protein value. DAIRY CME Last week the CME looked like it was going to move overall lower. This week thru Thursdays close, butter is up 3 while block and barrel both declined another 5 cents. We'll keep watching but I don't see much to push higher in the short term. Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn
Nox the baby owl is helping shed light on the raptor conservation work the Peregrine Fund does in Africa.

She has more than 15 years’ experience in digital strategy and product consulting, and holds an Arts (Honours) degree in Chinese Studies as well as a Masters of Development Studies. Her work sits at the intersection of design, technology, and strategy, helping organisations improve and transform their digital services. Key Takeaways: AI's Gender Impact: AI threatens roles largely held by women, particularly in entry-level and procedural jobs. Government's Role: Government intervention is essential to regulate AI's integration into the workforce and protect entry-level opportunities. Engagement Gap: Women are less engaged with AI technologies compared to men, risking further exclusion from tech advancements. Career Shifts: More flexible career pathways are emerging, though existing disparities in senior roles remain a challenge. Value of Human Connection: Fields dependent on human-to-human interaction, like counseling, hold a unique resilience against AI takeover. Notable Quotes: "I think if we don't start engaging, particularly as women, we run a real risk of entrenching some of these disparities." "We’re still exploring whether the technology lives up to the hype, and it’s anyone’s game still a little bit." "AI always wants you to feel like you're right and wants you to feel like it's right." "We need to support those who are coming up…so that we're not just the isolated exception." "I think that is a space that government can do a great job on, is actually kind of tempering some of those impacts."

BEEF Beef is ready to move higher into the high demand summer season. Beef harvest however continues with lower production numbers, 527K head last week, 534K the week prior. We may see small increases too over the next few weeks but I'm not seeing anything to make this market change the current mood of tight supplies and increasing prices. The move higher has begun with this week's trading. Middle meats are already pretty inflated, but they will push up over the next few weeks. Grinds will be leading the way with strong demand both in retail and foodservice. Rounds and chucks have leveled off for now but should follow the grind pricing higher. Middle meats that pushed up so hard in April into May are holding onto all those recent gains, but I don't see them moving much higher in the near term. Beef will continue to move higher over the next few weeks. POULTRY Chicken on the other hand is in great position, increasing production about 3% over last year, increasing egg sets which tells me we expect to continue to grow market share and I do think keeping prices affordable will be a key to summer chicken success. Next week, we see pennies up, pennies down, this market is well supplied and feels in a good position to move into summer. On the Avian flu front, 6 new cases affecting 79k birds, mostly ducks. Any loss is too many, but this is much better data over the last couple weeks as weather gets warmer as this virus does not like hot weather. GRAINS While soy has been the story the last month moving up every day, things have leveled off and we could see some giveback over the next couple weeks. Corn is on the move, something not thought in months. Corn closed today at $4.90, the highest close since May 2025. Wheat is now the leader on the move higher, mostly from mediocre crop reports domestically and international demand. We are seeing the highest wheat costs since June of 2024. Expect price increases on flour and bakery goods. PORK Pork bellies moving lower again, closing at $121 down from last weeks $125. Good time to buying bacon. We typically see a surge in belly prices as the weather warms, but not this year. I'm watching but I don't see anything to move this market higher just yet. Butts on the other hand are moving higher, about $.10/# for next week, that's a good move for pork butts, ribs also showing summer increases while loins continue to be the value in protein. DAIRY CME is a split decision this week, thru Thursday's close butter is up 2 after a couple weeks decline, block down 2 and barrel down 1. Looks like raw material is in good supply so I'm thinking we will continue on this minor weekly change, at least a bit.

Try to say "Avian Flu Front" five times fast, go ahead, give it a whirl. The beef market is continuing the market correction started last week. Middle meats were leading this market higher, and now they are leading this market lower. Ribeyes, Tenderloins, Strip Loins, all lower for the week. Rounds and Chucks coming off as well. The one area the reduced harvest numbers are really pushing on is thin meats, briskets, flanks, sirloin flap, and skirt steak all steadily moving higher each week. I expect we will see this continue higher right into Cinco de Mayo. Mother's Day is right after, so we do have some events coming to move some beef. I'd still stay ahead of my needs, cattle harvest was only 512K last week, down from 533K the week before so while prices may be declining, inventories continue to be tight. Chicken demand remains strong and production is continuing to outpace last year running about 2% up for the year. Recently boneless skinless randoms and tenders have been on a weekly move higher. It looks like randoms will take a little breather and actually decline a few pennies, tenders and wings will continue higher for next week. Overall I still see this market continuing higher at least the next few weeks. On the Avian flu front, another relatively good week, 3 new cases affecting 251K birds. Heat is not this virus's friend, so hopefully as the weather warms the virus will be less active. War can't move the corn market, this week's close $4.55/bushel, last week's close $4.53. New crop is coming and we still have plenty of last year's crop and I believe still some 2024 crop; there is lots of corn available. Soy: now soy moved higher a few weeks ago, not letting go those recent gains and demand for biofuel is keeping soybeans moving. Wheat is seeing effects of internation unrest, market is up $.13bushel from last week. Nothing to panic but I think we will see modest increases in flour pricing. I started seeing the pork belly market move lower this week, then it just dropped, today's close $136 down from last week's $149. This market reset should move bacon prices down. The rest of the pork complex is moving by pennies, butts, loins, ribs, all a good value with good availability. A split market this week in dairy, thru Thursday's close the CME for butter is up 2, while the barrel is down 1 and block down 3. Production numbers say this should be a stable market at least for the next few weeks. Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

The guys were live from Hagan Ace in Mandarin for this episode, and they were having all kinds of fun! If you’re looking for a fun listen, this is the episode for you – Jeff Foxworthy joined the guys and had everyone in stitches! Between the laughter, he talked about all kinds of hunting and land management stuff…and even managed to nail the GemLux Trivia Question! If that wasn’t enough, legendary outdoor artist Guy Harvey called in as well! He talked about the history of the Guy Harvey brand, and revealed several things people probably don’t know about him. It was another great conversation and quite an interesting listen. Tru Luvin Fishing’s Domenic Paniccia also sat in with the boys to provide some updates on the inaugural Marsh Madness tournament. And on top of all that, Hagan was doing their grand re-opening of their Mandarin location AND the grand opening of the Hagan Guns and Hunting! Here's your L.V.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with a focus on pedestrians experiencing a higher likelihood in being hit by an electric vehicle as opposed to gas-powered cars because of distracted driving as well as distracted pedestrians who don't hear the EV approaching and step into the roadway without looking. Other discussions include a new study showing the life expectancy going up, questioning if the Avian flu could become the new COVID-19, how social media is influencing young people to take up vaping and smoking, and when allergies are better left to a homeopathic approach and when to reach for the over-the-counter medications or get with an allergist for further testing and a possible need for allergy shots.The conversation, then, shifts to answering listener questions like Telehealth and virtual visits for doctor's as opposed to in-person doctor appointments, how a month without alcohol can do for your health, do water filters work in filtering microplastics in drinkable tap-water, and how does fasting work for or against your body. All of these questions are addressed in this week's discussion between Doug and Dr. Ken. Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the biggest news affecting family farmers, starting with the House Farm Bill as moved ahead after clearing a committee with support from both Democrats and Republicans following a 20-hour meeting recently. Moving on to the price of chicken, the Avian flu has caused chicken prices to rise sharply in early 2026 due to supply chain disruptions from the culling of millions of birds, with some analysts reporting price increases of over 20% compared to previous years, though down some in comparison to prices last year, and are expected to go up again soon. While egg prices have been more volatile, the ongoing H5N1 outbreak, particularly affecting commercial flocks, has significantly tightened the overall poultry supply.Lastly, Trump's trade policies continue to implement broad tariffs, resulting in significant financial strain on American family farmers. The tariffs have triggered retaliatory actions from other countries, reducing U.S. agricultural exports and lowering prices for major crops, contributing to a 46% rise in farm bankruptcies in 2025.

Beef production continues restrained to keep prices up and packer losses as small as possible. 516K head produced last week, same as the previous week. Heading into spring this is keeping the beef supply tight and prices supported. We have the smallest beef herd since 1951 when there were half as many people in the country. That is not turning around anytime soon. Regarding current market prices, everything is going up. Ribeyes and strip loins will be leading prices higher for the next few weeks. Grind demand is strong and prices moving up as well. Chuck had a nice few weeks of declines, that is over, rounds never lost support and continue to move higher. I do think middle meats and thin meats, flanks, skirts, sirloin flap, will all be tight and expensive, already looking at Cinco de Mayo. We are at the start of a steady move higher, I'd advise buy sooner, rather than later, waiting will cost you money. Keep well ahead of your needs, this market is going to be expensive and tight.Poultry production continues to run about 2% ahead of last year. Demand is good, production is strong, pricing is holding up, though wings declined a second week in a row. Boneless skinless breasts and tenders… holding steady. It's a good time to menu chicken. On the Avian flu front, its ugly. 23 new cases reported in the last week affecting 4.8Millioin birds, 4 million of those birds were egg layers. I'm not feeling good about spring migration.Soy markets continue to climb. Its been so long since we've seen a bull market in soy. Soy oil and canola oil, both moving higher with good export demand and higher biofuel usage. We may see this plateau in the next couple weeks, but right now, soy is on a tear. Corn and wheat… not so much . Still trading sideways and I don't see that changing.Pork bellies continue to march higher, today's close $153 up from last week $148. I don't think we are done by any stretch. Bacon will be going up. Contrary to rest of the pork complex, plenty of inventory, prices are good. Yes, menu pork.Butter took a huge run up this week. Thru Thursday's close on the CME butter is up 24! That's a big move. Barrel and block both up 3 but butter is the big mover. We'll see if the markets hold these recent gains, but for now all signs point to a higher dairy costs.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn
Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the biggest news affecting family farmers, starting with the latest information on the Avian flu. Yes, there is yet another outbreak. Then, Doug dives into the relationship between glyphosate herbicides and the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement is a subject of significant controversy and internal conflict within the MAHA coalition, particularly following a recent Trump administration executive order that prioritized domestic production of the chemical.Lastly, Doug looks at dietary guidelines, and how it changes every few years on what is deemed healthy. Farmers, however, know that nutrition starts on the farm. Enhancing the focus of supporting local farmers and shopping at farmers markets if not the farms themselves.

While on holiday recently in Valencia, Spain, Derek noticed a species of bird that has become one of the staple performers in the Irish Dawn Chorus each year: the Collared Dove. First breeding in Ireland in 1959, they now consistently feature each winter in the Top 20 of BirdWatch Ireland's Irish Garden Bird Survey...
Valentine's Day is here, and while roses get the spotlight, the real story is in the markets. Ribeyes and tenderloins are holding steady, strips keep climbing, pork bellies are inching higher, and poultry hasn't lost its upward momentum. Add in a little lift from soy and a steady dairy tone, and this week feels like a seasonal shift — not a surge, but a quiet build as we move from winter toward spring.BEEF: Harvest edged higher to 536K head. Middle meats are steady, strips keep climbing, and thin meats are gaining momentum earlier than usual. Grinds paused — but don't get too comfortable.POULTRY: Strong production and strong demand keep prices trending higher. Breasts and tenders lead, wings finally steady. Avian flu cases slowed, but the story isn't over.GRAINS: Soy is making a move thanks to biofuel demand. Corn is flat, wheat trying to find direction. Feels like the start of something — we'll see.PORK: Bellies climbed again to $135 and are building into spring. Loins still a value, butts and ribs inching up. Bacon buyers, take note.DAIRY: A mixed CME week — small moves in both directions. Nothing dramatic… yet.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn
A young bar-tailed godwit code-named B6 flew for more than 13,000 kilometres from Alaska to Tasmania in 2022. That's the longest known sustained flight by a bird. Avian expert and author Bruce Beehler says we don't entirely understand how it did it — and that should humble us.

Tom discusses the bird flu- what it is & what it isn't while reviewing some studies and articles. He also talks about the ostrich situation happening in Canada.Important Resources:Attention Livestock Producers https://www.sookewapf.org/blog/attention-livestock-producershttps://www.sookewapf.org/blog/a-lattention-des-eleveurs-de-betailThe Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF), has provided form that farmers/rancher may wish to consider giving to inspectors, at the farm gate - before allowing them entry to your land. Page one of the form is for the visiting inspector to provide the names and contact information of those visiting the farm. The second, more detailed, page (Questionnaire for Inspector), asks for proof of successful isolation of the bird flu virus, proof of contagious nature of the bird flu virus, type of test that will be used and contact information of the lab that will be doing the testing. It states that this form must be filled out completely before any sample is released. Please download the Inspector Forms (two pages) and have them ready at your farm or ranch should you be visited by inspectors. Back yard chicken farmers would be well advised to do this as well.Link to forms: https://brandfolder.com/s/jbhsbzsfq6t5bftnbt5bzhxSupport the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg

Dallas the Spoodle Befriends Local Magpies as Cockatoos Target Neighbors: Colleague Jeremy Zakis reports that Dallas, an 11-year-old spoodle, continues to expand his "village" of avian friends, now joined by teenage magpies who actively run to greet him during walks, theorizing that the territorial magpies view the friendly dog as a "force multiplier" or ally rather than a threat; while the magpie breeding season is ending, a flock of cockatoos has returned to vandalize a specific neighbor's roof, inexplicably zeroing in on one property while leaving Zakis and Dallas unbothered by the destruction next door.

It's Tuesday, December 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Trump urges Venezuelan president to leave country U.S. sabers are rattling off the coast of Venezuela. The Miami Herald reported that President Donald Trump offered Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro an ultimatum over the weekend: He said, “You can save yourself and those closest to you, but you must leave the country now.” For any assistance in leading to Maduro's arrest, the U.S. government has placed a bounty of $50 million on the Venezuelan President. Also, President Trump issued a warning on Saturday via Truth Social. He wrote, “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.” Trump designates Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group The President also designated certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood organization as a terrorist group, as of Sunday. CounterExtremism.com has counted 48 extremist individuals and groups tied to the Brotherhood. As a Muslim Brotherhood host, the nation of Qatar has transferred $1.8 billion to Gaza since 2012, some of which reportedly has gone to Hamas. That information was revealed through recent audits. 65 people died from Ebola in Congo, Africa The Democratic Republic of the Congo is dealing with another Ebola outbreak — 65 cases confirmed and 45 deaths, reports U.S. News & World Report. The last major Congolese outbreak occurred in 2018. The virus is as dangerous as rabies, the Marburg virus, and the Avian flu. Exodus 4:11 reminds us that God is in control of all health issues: “So the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?” Russian-Ukrainian negotiations at stalemate In other world news, the Russo-Ukrainian conflict negotiations are approaching another stalemate. Ukraine announced they will not accept territorial concessions. And French President Emmanuel Macron announced an endorsement of using frozen Russian assets to help fund Ukraine's defense. Japanese court upholds ban on homosexual marriage Japan's Tokyo court upheld the homosexual marriage ban as constitutional, reports the BBC. Of Asian states, only Thailand, Nepal, and Taiwan have legalized the practice thus far. Christian ministries ranked most and least transparent Ministry Watch has released its 2025 ratings of American ministries for financial efficiency, transparency, and donor confidence. Of the largest ministries in the United States, Medicine For All People International, Grand Canyon University, World Relief, Christian Aid Ministries, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Christian Broadcasting Network rate the highest. Lowest ratings go to Samaritan's Purse, Convoy of Hope, Baylor University, Pepperdine University, and Hillsdale College. Some controversy has been brewing recently over the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability and the Billy Graham Evangelical Association's withdrawal from the organization. Top 3 ministries serving the persecuted Of the six ministries serving the persecuted saints, Ministry Watch rates International Christian Concern, Equipping the Persecuted, and Persecution Project highest for financial efficiency, transparency, and donor confidence. Voice of the Martyrs is rated lowest. Equipping the Persecuted focuses on Nigeria, and Persecution Project has been actively serving the persecuted saints in Sudan, Africa. Folks, think about giving to the poor and the suffering this Christmas season. Proverbs 28:27 says, “He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses.” U.S. government ran a $1.8 trillion deficit The financial numbers are in for the U.S. government's fiscal year 2025, ending in October. The government ran a deficit of $1.8 trillion for the year. That's down $41 billion or 2% compared to the previous year. However, revenues increased by $317 billion due to higher tariffs on imported goods. Spending was up a whopping 4% or $275 billion, driven by welfare and benefit programs, as well as rising interest payments on the public debt. Trump to pick new Federal Reserve Chairman U.S. President Donald Trump will soon announce his next pick for chairman of the Federal Reserve. The new pick is slated to replace Jerome Powell in May of next year. Gold hits $4,230/ounce and silver hits $58/ounce Metals are still on the rise again. Gold hit $4,230 per ounce and silver topped $58.00 per ounce. Bitcoin is still down 31% over two months ago. FDA admits COVID-19 shots killed U.S. kids The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has acknowledged, for the first time, that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children. According to Politico, Vinay Prasad, the vaccine chief for the FDA, issued a memo in which he revealed that FDA staff “found … at least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination.” This comes from an “initial analysis of 96 deaths (associated with the vaccine taking place) between 2021 and 2024.” TN Democrat opposes Christian prayer in public forum And finally, the Christian faith appears to be at stake -- in a tight election in Tennessee for the 7th District Congressional seat. The Democrat candidate Aftyn Behn has gone on record stating she is opposed to Christian prayer in the public forum. President Donald Trump took to Truth Social yesterday. He warned that Behn “hates Christianity, will take away your guns, wants Open Borders. . . men in women's sports, and openly disdains Country music.” The latest polls show the Republican candidate, Van Epps, is holding a slight lead in today's election.

The worry about whether H5N1 will trigger a human pandemic has concealed a startling reality. Avian influenza has already taken an enormous toll on the lives of other animals. Since 2005, the number of wild and domesticated birds killed is greater than the combined human populations of the United States and Russia. Bird flu is burning through wild flocks, poultry farms, and mammal populations, including those of sea mammals. We look at the places where the virus can recombine and mutate, and why this version is not simply dying out as it has in years past. At a squawking live poultry market in Brooklyn, and on a Long Island duck farm, we hear about the difficult experience of euthanizing 100,000 birds and whether a farm can recover from such a devastating loss. And finally, we ask, why poultry vaccines that could curb the spread of H5N1 aren't being used. But we begin our episode with descriptions of the soaring global migrations of birds whose feats of endurance help us understand why H5N1 is widespread in birds worldwide. Guests: Scott Weidensaul – Ornithologist, bird migration researcher, and author of "A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds" David Swayne – Bird flu veterinarian Doug Corwin – Farmer and owner of Crescent Duck Farm, Aquebogue, New York Jon Cohen – Senior correspondent with Science Magazine, where you can find his recent article, “The Pandemic Next Time,” and author of "Planning Miracles: How to Prevent Future Pandemics" Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake You can get early access to ad-free versions of every episode by joining us on Patreon.

Cockatoos Wreak Havoc: Avian Vandals Attack Roofing Bolts Jeremy Zakis The discussion focuses on the intense destructive power of cockatoos in New South Wales, described as "gang members" who work in packs. Jeremy Zakis reports that eight to ten cockatoos had been actively targeting his neighbor's steel roof, successfully wrenching out two-inch-long galvanized steel roofing bolts. Jeremy notes the creatures are incredibly strong, with beaks capable of damaging the steel. In a particularly surprising act of "villainy," one cockatoo flew a removed bolt across the property line and dropped it onto Jeremy's driveway. The hosts speculate that this act could be a deliberate warning that Jeremy's house is next. These birds are clearly the disruptive outliers in the local happy bird world. DARWIN'S FUNERAL
3. Darwin's Finches, Evolution, and Avian Intelligence AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This excerpt addresses the myth that Darwin immediately understood evolution from the Galapagos Finches; he actually focused on pigeons in The Origin of Species. The finches were only named in his honor about 100 years after his birth. It highlights the work of Peter and Rosemary Grant, who demonstrated that birds can evolve very quickly (in a couple of years) when conditions, such as El Niño, change dramatically. The discussion concludes by noting that all birds, including the Australian Magpie, exhibit high levels of intelligence.
