The potpourri covers some interesting bird related science of the last few weeks, and the promise is this: I’ll get to that other stuff soon, I promise! BBC has the story as a video. Researchers are wondering if the die-off might spread to other birds or even fish. You see, it is all connected.

Homework assignment: Is the bird in this video a male or a female? Fortunately for the honor of the species, the researchers found that kleptoparasitism was practiced at a low rate (4% of observations) while much more often, drongos captured insects disturbed by other species (41% of observations).

Science is fairly well established that yawning can spread like wildfire among groups of humans, as well as a few other mammals.
