Further reading: What gives bees their sweet tooth? Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Right before I left on my trip to Belize a few months ago, my aunt Janice gave me a magazine to read on the plane, the Autumn 2021 copy of LivingBird. It's about birds and birdwatching. I actually forgot to take it with me and it was in my car the whole time I was gone, but when I got home I took it in to read. One article caught my eye, titled “Investigating the Sweet Tooth of Songbirds.” Literally the same day that I read that article, I stumbled across another article on ScienceDaily titled “What gives bees their sweet tooth?” And a podcast episode idea was born! You may have heard that domestic cats can't taste sweetness, and that's true. When your pet cat wants to drink the milk in a bowl of sugary cereal, it's not the sugar they care about because they can't taste it. Also, milk isn't good for cats and even if they can't taste the sugar, it can end up giving them cavities. The question is, why don't cats taste sweetness? And what other animals can't taste it either? Carnivores like cats don't need to taste sweet flavors because it's just not present in meat, which is what carnivores eat. You can test this easily if you put two saucers on the floor for your cat, one with a small amount of unseasoned chicken and a sugar cube in the other. I guarantee you the cat will eat the chicken and play with the sugar cube, which will get sugar all over the floor so maybe don't do that after all. This is where I share with you, for no reason, that when I was in elementary school I used to eat sugar cubes while pretending I was a horse. Horses can taste sweet flavors like sugar because they're herbivores. Herbivores eat plants, and in fact herbivores have a whole lot of taste buds so that they can easily tell what kind of plants they're eating. Bitter tasting plants might be toxic while sweet ones provide lots of energy. Herbivores are also keenly attuned to the taste of salt since their diet is typically low in salt and they need to seek it out. Humans are omnivores, and omnivores eat pretty much anything. Like our great ape cousins, we also evolved to eat a lot of fruit. Ripe fruit tastes sweet so we really like our sweet foods. Omnivores like dogs, pigs, and bears also like sweet foods because they're high in calories and therefore provide a lot of energy. But how does an animal lose an entire sense of taste? It's not like all tigers woke up one day and boom, the ability to taste sweetness was gone. It happens gradually as the genes responsible for an animal's sense of taste mutate over many generations. Let's take as our example the bottlenose dolphin. The ancestors of the dolphin and other cetaceans were terrestrial animals related to the ancestors of modern even-toed ungulates like hippos, camels, deer, and pigs, and were probably either herbivores or omnivores. But as the dolphin's ancestors evolved over millions of years, they shifted to a fully marine lifestyle and a fully carnivorous diet. Over the thousands and thousands of generations, the genes that control the ability to taste sweetness mutated so much that they're now useless, but since the dolphin doesn't need to taste sweetness the mutations don't matter. In the case of the bottlenose dolphin and other cetaceans, in fact, they also can't taste bitterness or umami. Umami is what helps you taste the difference between chicken and turkey, steak and pork, tuna and trout. Basically it's the flavor of meat or savory foods, including cheeses. You can taste the difference between cheddar and Swiss because of the umami receptors in your taste buds, which are determined by genes. But the dolphin eats nothing but meat! Why would it lose the ability to taste meat? Researchers think it's because the dolphin swallows fish and other animals whole, without chewing. Cetaceans and other marine carnivores like sea lions that swallow their food whole actually have almost no taste buds at all. If you're wondering what happens when an animal that can't taste sweetness has to adapt to a diet where tasting sweet foods is important, that's exactly what happened with songbirds. The ancestors of birds lost the ability to taste sweetness millions of years ago when they were dinosaurs. Then, well, you know what happened to the non-avian dinosaurs. Suddenly the ancestors of modern birds had a lot of available ecological niches to take advantage of and they evolved rapidly to fill them. This included small birds who eat berries and nectar. Genetic studies suggest that the ancestors of songbirds regained the ability to taste sweetness around 30 million years ago in Australia. The same thing happened in hummingbirds at about the same time. In both cases, the genes that control the ability to taste umami evolved to taste sweetness instead—but songbirds and hummingbirds adapted different umami genes. That's what you call a subtle case of convergent evolution. Songbirds and hummingbirds adapted to a diet high in sugar because it's a good source of energy and easily found in flowers. In turn, flowers needed to be pollinated and have their seeds spread around, so they evolved to provide even more sugars in nectar and berries. But birds aren't the only animals that pollinate flowers and are attracted to nectar. Insects can all detect sweetness. However, bees are exceptionally attuned to sweetness and have two taste neurons instead of one per taste bud. Insects don't have taste buds the same way we do, of course. In mammals, reptiles, and birds, taste buds are located on the tongue, in a few parts of the mouth, and at the top of the throat. In insects, taste receptors can be in any number of places. They're on an insect's mouthparts but often also on their feet, legs, and antennae. Some amphibians have taste receptors on the body as well as concentrated in the mouth, and many fish have taste receptors all over their body. Catfish in particular have the most taste buds known, up to 175,000. Humans have about 10,000. Cats only have about 500. Before you start feeling sorry for your cat for not being able to taste sweet foods and not having a great sense of taste in general, cats have a taste receptor we don't. It's the water sense. To us, a nice cold glass of water tastes refreshing but doesn't really have a flavor. A cat or dog, and many other animals whose diet is mostly meat even if they aren't specifically carnivores, have the ability to taste water in a way we can't even imagine. Because meat is high in salt content, having taste buds attuned to water helps the animal drink enough water to process all that salt. If you gave me the choice, I'd choose sweetness over the ability to taste water. But my cats would probably disagree. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!

This week on Birds of a Feather Talk Together, we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes about the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher—one of North America's smallest, busiest, and most beloved songbirds.While John is off birding in New Zealand and Australia, we're taking a look back at this conversation about a bird that perfectly captures what makes birdwatching so rewarding. Blue-gray Gnatcatchers may be tiny, but their energetic behavior, buzzy calls, and constant movement make them unforgettable once you start noticing them.When we originally recorded this episode, we talked about how special it would be to spend a day surrounded by Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and how important it is not to take those moments in nature for granted. Recently, that exact experience happened again, serving as a reminder of one of the best lessons birding can teach us: slow down, pay attention, and appreciate the birds around you.In this episode, Field Museum ornithologists and curators of birds John Bates and Shannon Hackett join RJ and Amanda Pole to discuss Blue-gray Gnatcatcher behavior, bird identification, migration, habitat, nesting, bird songs and calls, and why these tiny birds are such favorites among birders.We also answer a listener mailbag question about vultures and condors, exploring the fascinating world of scavenging birds and their important role in ecosystems.If you love birding, birdwatching, songbirds, backyard birds, bird behavior, bird identification, vultures, condors, ornithology, wildlife science, and fascinating bird facts, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow:YouTube InstagramTikTokBlueSky

WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BREATHLESS AND INTENSE JOURNEY! Game of Thrones Season 8 Episodes 1-4 Reaction & Review with Andrew Gordon and Tara Erickson! As fantasy epics continue to dominate pop culture, we are heading back into the frozen trenches of Westeros to break down the final, world-shaking conflicts, legendary wars, and massive character payoffs of television's ultimate cultural phenomenon: Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones Full Uncut Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   GAME OF THRONES 7x5-7x7 REACTION:    • GAME OF THRONES 7x5-7x7 REACTION – THE NIG...   GAME OF THRONES 7x1-7x4 REACTION:    • GAME OF THRONES 7x01 - 7x04 REACTION – JON...   Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this comprehensive television series review and reaction, Andrew and Tara breakdown the massive opening stretch of the final season as the living prepare to face the dead. We dissect the heavy acting choices and phenomenal presence of the main ensemble cast, including Kit Harington (Eternals, Pompeii) as the honorable Jon Snow / Aegon Targaryen, Emilia Clarke (Me Before You, Terminator Genisys) as the fiercely determined Daenerys Targaryen, and Peter Dinklage (X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes) as the brilliant Tyrion Lannister. We also look at the massive roles played by Sophie Turner (Dark Phoenix, The Staircase) as the resilient Sansa Stark, and Maisie Williams (The New Mutants, Pistol) as the lethal Arya Stark. Our hosts react to every iconic, jaw-dropping highlight that these massive cinematic episodes have to offer. We break down the emotional tension of the Winterfell arrivals, Jon Snow's world-shattering true lineage revelation in the crypts, and the beautiful, tear-jerking sequence where Jaime Lannister knights Brienne of Tarth before the fire. We unpack the technical scale, visual mastery, and historic scope of "The Long Night"—the brutal Battle of Winterfell against the Night King and his Army of the Dead—leading to Arya Stark's unforgettable final blow. From the heartbreaking funeral pyres and wild celebration feasts to the shocking, devastating ambush at Dragonstone resulting in the tragic execution of Missandei and the fall of Rhaegal, this massive stretch of television gave us an absolute frenzy of storytelling to unpack. As we march forward toward the ultimate iron throne finale in our complete series retrospective, we are evaluating the immense pacing, narrative choices, and structural scale of these final episodes.

This week on Birds of a Feather Talk Together, we explore the fascinating world of the Black-and-white Warbler—one of the most unique and behaviorally unusual warblers in North America.Unlike most warblers that hop through leaves and branches, Black-and-white Warblers climb tree trunks and branches much like nuthatches or woodpeckers, making them instantly recognizable to birders once you know what to look for. Their bold black-and-white striped plumage, energetic movements, and distinctive behavior make them one of the most charming songbirds in the forest.This episode was inspired by listener Kelsey, who asked us to do a full deep dive into these amazing birds—and we had a blast discussing them.Field Museum ornithologists and curators of birds John Bates and Shannon Hackett join RJ and Amanda Pole to discuss Black-and-white Warbler behavior, migration, bird identification, foraging strategies, habitat, bird songs and calls, and why this species stands out among North American warblers.If you love birding, birdwatching, warblers, songbirds, bird behavior, ornithology, migration, wildlife science, and fascinating bird facts, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow:YouTube InstagramTikTokBlueSky

In spring, millions of songbirds — like the Orchard Oriole — migrate north across the Gulf of Mexico, from the Yucatan to the southeastern U.S. When birds encounter storms or headwinds, many may die. Why risk such an end, when they could migrate north along the length of Mexico? It's likely that many birds evolved to take the potentially perilous trans-Gulf route because it is direct and considerably faster, putting the birds on the best breeding territories more quickly. ¡Escuche este episodio en español!

Episode 165 - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. LewisBook vs MovieSam and Tim return to Narnia for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and this turned into a full book vs movie comparison.The verdict? The book delivers. The movie… does not.We talk about how the film takes the bones of the story and somehow still misses what makes it work. From major tonal changes to adaptation choices that just don't land, this ends up being the weakest of the 2000s Narnia movies. And yes, you can absolutely feel the smaller budget.We break down:• What makes the book so effective• Where the adaptation goes wrong• Why this one feels like the biggest miss of the trilogy• And what would Lion Jesus do?If you've ever said “the book was better,” this is one of those times where it's not even close.New episodes every Monday at 8 AM EST ✨Next week: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins⏱️ Time Stamps00:00 Intro01:08 Background06:40 Age Level & Content Warning08:49 Judge a Book by Its Cover09:54 Discussion34:32 The Islands in the Book53:18 The Islands in the Movie01:06:51 General Thoughts01:08:15 One Question for the Author01:09:43 Rating01:10:32 Read Again?01:11:00 Favorite of the Series so Far01:11:48 Outro

"The amount of times I've been and just for a brief moment you almost sort of lose track and forget ... and you're just looking at this marvel on a really good migration day and the number of birds... and it's absolutely incredible and then the next thing you know, all of a sudden, you'll hear the gunshots start."The massacre of migrating birds each spring and autumn around the Mediterranean is ecocide. It's done mostly for fun, status and selfies; sometimes for delicacies. Nightingales and passerines of all kinds, turtle doves, kestrels, hawks, raptors and even storks and flamingos are gunned down or lured and trapped with glued branches and cruel snares. One organisation, the Committee Against Bird Slaughter or CABS, is fighting this atrocity all over the Med. In this episode Ben Goldsmith is in conversation with Lloyd Scott about what they are doing to help save these birds. Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast. Join him as he speaks to people from all over the world who champion nature and are helping to restore habitats and wildlife to some of the most nature depleted parts of our planet.This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.Text Rewilding the World here.

Migratory songbirds warble, tweet and twitter their way back to Vermont

Songbirds are disappearing at an alarming rate, with some species teetering on the verge of extinction, barely clinging to their endangered habitats. Birders, not to mention scientists, are sounding the alarm. But true as these words are today, they also describe the 19th century, and the valiant—and occasionally violent—efforts to protect birds from the utter devastation of human activity. This is the subject of James H. McCommons's new book, The Feather Wars. Birds were threatened by aggressive logging, farming, hunting, sport, and the desire to put a feather in a woman's cap. But they were also imperiled by the very people who claimed to love them—ornithologists, and their kindred oologists, whose hobby consisted of killing thousands upon thousands of birds and collecting their eggs to fluff out their collections. McCommons takes us behind the battle lines of the first American effort to save the birds, in the hopes that some lessons might apply to our current circumstances.Go beyond the episode:James H.

"We all do things we're not proud of to survive."Sequel Month is getting the prequel treatment as The Wives Colangelo return to Panem for THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES. This week's episode might be a bit of a heavier one, considering, well, everything, but to fight fascism, you have to know how it operates. Fortunately, the dystopian prequel does a pretty bang-up job at showcasing how leaders like Coriolanus Snow come to power, why you should never trust state-controlled media, and how the seeds of resistance take so long to come to harvest.

It's the future but they are dressed like it's the past and all their cars are old timey??? Today we are talking about the movie adaptation of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The cast is star studded, the movie had to make lots of changes because the book is long, and Lucy Gray maybe shouldn't sing ballads without some instruments. Also, if your boyfriend has a shaved head maybe don't sing a song about him being white and pure even if his last name is snow, it's just giving Nazi.WARNING: murder, child abuse, gun violenceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/book-cult--5718878/support.

The world of Westeros CONTINUES to grow as Greg, John, & Michael Tessler UNITE to give their A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, Commentary, & Spoiler Review!! Greg Alba, John Humphrey, & Michael Tessler react to the season premiere of HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the new Game of Thrones spinoff adapted from George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas (The Hedge Knight). Set roughly a century before the events of Game of Thrones and after the events of House of the Dragon, the new series shifts the scale from epic wars to intimate adventures, focusing on honor, friendship, and the realities of knighthood in Westeros. The premiere introduces Ser Duncan the Tall, known as Dunk (Peter Claffey – Bad Sisters, Vikings: Valhalla), a towering hedge knight with a strong moral compass but little status, and his sharp-witted soon-to-be squire Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell – The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Emmerdale). Their journey places them amid the politics of the Seven Kingdoms during the reign of King Aegon V Targaryen's era, brushing up against noble houses, tourneys, and the lingering legacy of Targaryen rule. As Ser Duncan attempts to honor his mentor and make a name for himself, a new opportunity presents itself in the form of a tourney... Blending classic Game of Thrones lore with a lighter, more personal perspective, the premiere sets the stage for a series rooted in chivalry, consequence, and the everyday lives shaped by Westeros' power struggles. It's a refreshing return to the world of George R.R. Martin—less about thrones, more about the people who live in their shadow.

This episode needs no introduction: Shooter Jennings joins Donnie and Dave to discuss his dad's cache of recordings, the process of bringing together three albums' worth of new Waylon Jennings music, and his feelings about the first installment, Songbird. Shooter talks at length about the discovery of Waylon's previously unreleased music, his relationship with his legendary dad and his own role as a father of two. This one was big for the Country Music Dads, as there couldn't be a more perfect topic for this podcast. Show Notes1:24 -- Shooter tells us about the discovery of these songs and how the Songbird project came together. 6:12 -- Dave says it was surreal to hear these songs in 2025. Shooter felt the same way. And then he knew he had to share this with others so they could have the same experience. 8:26 -- The Myth vs. The Man: Shooter explores what fans might be able to take from these projects. 10:42 -- Shooter's childhood on the road and why he's tired at shows regardless of how much sleep he gets. 12:20 -- Waylon the Artist vs. Waylon the Dad. Shooter kept true to the art but modernized it a bit — “letting the music on the tape talk.” That said, the experience of going through this chapter of his dad's life was very special to Shooter. 20:07 -- As a producer, the process of this project was a bit different for Shooter because Waylon is no longer with us; he is his father, and there was so much more material than usual. So he wanted to make it last to “make it like Waylon is here for a minute.” 23:00 -- Donnie asked about how relationships impact Shooter's production style. He specifically pointed to Turnpike Troubadour's last two albums and the fan backlash after Cat in the Rain. Shooter's direct and honest answer provides an interesting view into his producing style.28:58 -- The Dads ask Shooter how the production on the next albums fit together and how they tell a story. We also learn that there are several other projects to come from this collection of recordings, including songs by his mother, Jessi Colter. It's like a little Marvel Universe of Waylon Jennings, they joke. But wouldn't that be cool?30:40 -- How this project impacts Shooter's legacy and his kids' vision of him. 36:30 -- What's next for Shooter? He's working with Charley Crockett and BJ Barham of American Aquarium again.Thank you for listening.

Rock doves and Eurasian collared doves are common invasive birds in North America. Both doves are edible and can be prepared in various ways. Cooking techniques vary based on the age and type of bird. Songbirds like house sparrows and starlings are often overlooked as food sources. Mute swans are invasive and can be managed through hunting. Snow geese are abundant and provide high-quality meat. Cooking methods for waterfowl include roasting, braising, and grinding for sausage. Upland birds like pheasants are often introduced and considered game birds. Historical recipes can provide inspiration for cooking invasive species.

All birds need to sleep — or at least snooze — sometime during each 24-hour period. And most sleep at night. A bird, like a Mallard Duckling, may turn its head around and warm its beak under its shoulder-feathers. Songbirds find a protected perch, sheltered from rain and nighttime predators. Small forest birds often spend the night in tree cavities. Ducks sleep while floating in protected bays.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

By August, many birds have just completed the intense rigors of nesting and raising young and now undergo a complete molt. Molt is a cyclic process of feather growth. As new feathers grow in, they push the old ones out. Why molt? Because feathers wear out. Songbirds that migrate long distances need to complete this process on a tight schedule, to be ready when it's time to strike out in September. You might not even recognize this American Goldfinch in its winter plumage.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
