When Macdonald's father passed away, she was devastated. An experienced falconer she'd never before been tempted to train a goshawk. But in her grief, she saw that the goshawk's fierce and feral temperament mirrored her own. Resolving to raise one of the creatures as a means to cope with her loss, MacDonald adopts Mabel and turns to the guidance of the Once and Future King author TH White's chronicle The Goshawk to begin her challenging endeavor. Projecting herself “in the hawk's wild mind to tame her” tested the limits of Helen's humanity and changed her life… Love this Zoo-notable? Grab the book!

Once upon a time, the Great Indian Bustard was close to becoming India's National Bird. However, the species is now considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List, with less than 100 individuals remaining in the wild. The species is predominantly found in Rajasthan, though sightings do occur across the Deccan Plateau. Collisions with windmills, hunting of eggs by free-ranging dogs, and the loss of grassland habitat have decimated populations of the Great Indian Bustard. Unfortunately, the three remaining bustard species in India, have a similar storyline.In this episode, I interview Sujit Narwade, the Assistant Director of the Bombay Natural History Society to discuss bustard conservation in India. We predominantly focus on the conservation Great Indian Bustard and the Lesser Florican, the two species which BNHS has extensively worked with. This is a public episode.

Welcome to a special series of the Whistleblowing Now and Then podcast, called:The Public Interest and National Security Whistleblowing: Looking Back, Thinking Forward.This 3-part series is a collaboration between Whistleblowing International Network and Kaeten Mistry, Associate Professor of History at the University of East Anglia, and co-author of the book Whistleblowing Nation: The History of National Security Disclosures and Cult of State Secrecy.This week's episode looks at the United States. A nation founded on the principles of free speech and open government, is today home to the largest state secrecy regime in human history. A country that does not permit national security officials making public interest disclosures, has nonetheless produced some of the most famous cases of national security whistleblowing that have made history such as Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, and Daniel Ellsberg.Such cases have generated widespread debate about security and liberty, secrecy, and transparency, in the U.S. and internationally. Yet while public interest disclosures are commonly seen as whistleblowing in the public sphere, they are deemed to be “unauthorized disclosures” by the US government. To unpack this, we sit down with two leading experts of whistleblowing and secrecy in the United States. Tom Devine, Legal Director at the Government Accountability Project and Sam Lebovic, Associate Professor of History at George Mason University, author of the prize-winning book Free Speech and Unfree News. Additional ReadingCitizenfour (2014) A documentary concerning Edward Snowden and the NSA surveillance program. National Bird (2016) A documentary following 3 whistleblowers including Daniel Hale who was a former National Security Agency (NSA) intelligence analyst who sent classified information about drone warfare to the press. United States v. Reality Winner (2021) A documentary exploring story of 25-year-old NSA contractor Reality Winner who disclosed a document about Russian election interference to the media and became a target of the Trump administration.

Welcome to February 13th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate peaceful pastimes and better cheddar. Birdwatching can be fun, but you have to be very patient. Why not make the birds come to you, courtesy of a bird feeder? There are few things more relaxing than sitting at your kitchen window, coffee in hand, watching birds in your tree only a few feet away. One of the best ways to attract a good variety of birds is to use different types of seed and different feeders. Set them at different heights, and you're almost guaranteed to have a parade of feathered friends. On National Bird Feeding Month—get your feeders set up, pull up a chair, and wait for the inevitable arrival of birds. And probably squirrels. Cheese lovers might not care that their favorite snack is actually named for the place that it's made but today we give thanks to the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England. In the U.K. cheddar cheese accounts for more than half of the multi billion dollar cheese market. And here in the United States, cheddar is just behind mozzarella in popularity. So how did this “cheddar love” migrate across the pond? Enter Peter McIntosh, who brought his talent for cheese making to Tillamook County, Oregon in 1894. His superior skills earned him the title of the Cheese King of the Coast, and today there are more cows than people in Tillamook County. On National Cheddar Day savor the flavor that's treasured on both sides of the pond. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day!

Turkey for Thanksgiving dinner is a big tradition in the United States, but how much do you know about the bird itself? Sara and Casey discuss some of the features of the wild turkey and take a look at their conservation success story.

Our first episode was about the Great Indian Bustard. The logo of the Bird Podcast is the Great Indian Bustard or GIB as it is called. Salim Ali wanted this bird to be India's national bird for three reasons: it is indigenous to India, it is a large and charismatic bird, and it deserves protection because its numbers were dwindling, even in the 1950s when Ali made his plea. Instead the peacock won out. Then, as now, the fate of the bustard hangs in balance. Will we save the bustard? The biggest problem for bustards: the powerlines that criss-cross the desert landscape. Locals hate them because they are ugly. Bustards cannot see them because their frontal vision is poor. In October 2022, yet another bustard was killed because it flew into a power transmission line, prompting wildlife organizations such as the Bombay Natural History Society or BNHS to once again petition the government to lay these lines underground. In 2017, when we interviewed forest officials in Desert National Park, there were 150 birds. Today too, there are 150 birds. So while the numbers haven't risen, they haven't dropped either. There are 128 in Rajasthan's desert regions, less than 10 in Gujarat and Maharashtra, and 16 chicks being raised in Sudashri incubation centre in Rajasthan. The Rajasthan government has launched a project to save the bustard. Bird Podcast sincerely hopes that this will be successful.
The wild Turkey is one of North America's largest birds. The turkey has been a staple in the American diet for thousands of years, and was domesticated by Native Americans as far back as 500 BC. The wild turkey was even considered as The United States' National Bird for a brief period during our nation's founding. We hope you enjoy this week's episode, and thanks for joining us as we talk turkey!

Mark Twain once said that, “Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” It can even melt the stony heart of your enemies. On a cold morning in December, 1914 the Western Front of World War I took a pause for Christmas. Though it was only 5 months into the war, and it would not be repeated again, it is perhaps one of the finest examples of chivalry during wartime. Soldiers on either side of enemy lines greeted each other in their native tongue. They sang Carols to one another in plain sight and even exchanged gifts of cigarettes and plum puddings. It was Pope Benedict the XV who suggested this hiatus, but it was the hearts of men who made it happen. On National Random Acts Of Kindness Day we invite you to witness miracles for yourself, both great and small that come from leading with your heart. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson.

Welcome to January 5th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate an exotic species and sweet inventions. The Hooded Pitohui is a colorful songbird that lives in the forests of New Guinea. The bird's black and orange coloring is reminiscent of its cousin the oriole. But there's something about the Pitohui other than its coloring that makes this bird stand out in the crowd—it's poisonous. There are many toxic species of reptiles and fish in the world, but there are only a handful of birds who fit this description. This Pitohui's poison was discovered when a scientist accidentally cut his finger on the bird's claw. When he licked the cut, his mouth started to go numb too. Luckily, the poison wasn't deadly, but it is for predators and that's exactly why these birds evolved this way. On National Bird Day, we celebrate our feathered friends from a safe distance. The first recipes for whipped cream date back to 1549 when they used a willow branch to beat the cream into “snow milk.” This technique lasted for the next few centuries until a clothing salesman from St. Louis changed all of that. During WWII when cream was rationed, Aaron “Bunny” Lapin began pedaling Sta-Whip, a substitute made of light cream and vegetable oil. Then in 1946 Crown Cork and Seal Company made the first seamless aerosol canister. Lapin used the technology, changed the name to Reddi-wip and with an army of milkmen to deliver it, he made a fortune in only a few short years. On National Whipped Cream Day celebrate Bunny Lapin's birthday with a little extra on the top. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day!
