Last year we put Forrest’s superpower of fast learning and problem solving to use and taught him to decorate a tree and deliver gifts in three days. He went a little WWE on the tree, mailbox, and even the stocking sometimes, but that’s part of his charm. Happy holidays, fam, and thanks for being here on this crazy ride with us! | Avian Behavior Conservancy

A big part of our birds’ jobs is going to programs confidently and being able to handle unpredictable conditions. Training for this starts at home, helping them work through different puzzles and challenges that aren’t straightforward, like crating voluntarily. Aldo is demonstrating how “motivation” to get into the crate works. I use the same sized bit of food and change the conditions for entry. So it’s not that he wasn’t hungry or motivated enough, he just didn’t have the skills for what I was

Ethology matters when it comes to optimizing your bird’s welfare in behavior science. Understanding how to maximize their comfort and minimize stress based on what they are adapted to do in order means that we can also minimize aversives. For instance, by introducing the Screech Owl to new environments and stimuli at the age he would naturally be more curious, I reduce what would be a natural aversion to these when he is older. It’s like learning a new language when you are young vs older. You c

The studies looking at animal behavior and problem solving skills are endlessly fascinating, but the true challenge is understanding what exactly it is we are studying without tripping over our own biases. This is something we explored in our last podcast and YouTube, famously referring to the myth that apes understand sign language and Alex the African Grey Parrot was capable of language as well. The string pulling experiment is one that many researchers thought reflected causal reasoning, the

THAT FACE! How do hot birds, naïveté, and reinforcing opportunities tie together? Gular fluttering is one of the ways birds have to cool off. It’s essentially like panting, which is what li’l screech owl is doing here. The gular pouch or sac are the jowly portion below a bird’s (or crocodilian or many other animals’) chin. Juvenile birds are the most susceptible to die during heat waves because they aren’t great at thermoregulating, and they aren’t very experienced when it comes to learning how
