If you’re feeling particularly science-y, the full paper is here.). This differs from humans and other mammals, in which the addition of extra sperm essentially destroys the egg. But it points to new areas ripe for investigation. The research doesn’t fully explain why “supernumerary” (as if they were extras in an opera!)

The first half describes the problem (why birds hit windows, the scale of the deaths, scientific research, what happens when birds strike windows) and the second half discusses what to do about it (community and worldwide education, window deterrent solutions, legal mandates and building codes, citizen science–what individuals can do).

It comprised eight short talks on subjects ranging from investigations into the genetics of magnetic receptors for navigation, to the use of eBird and other “citizen science” crowdsourcing efforts in studying migrant phenology. ” Fascinating stuff, with real conservation implications.

In humans, adults (probably mainly mothers) do this thing called “motherese” which is talking in a way one would normally not talk to another adult, to a baby.

Geophagy, the intentional consumption of soil by vertebrates, has long been documented in a number of bird and mammal species – including wide-spread use by humans – which consume soil to increase absorption of certain minerals not naturally occurring in the local diet. That’s right – birds eating clay.

Being lazy, a bunch of researchers used camera traps to investigate the species rather than following the birds directly (which would have had some health benefits). Being a management consultant, I am well-versed in the science and art of b *g. ” Full iteration!
