Canberrans, pls look out on #BigCityBirds for our individually marked cockies - they are for @julia_penndorf's research Ecology&EvolutionANU on cockatoo social landscapes. If it starts with Black, they are from the O'Connor roost; Red/Pink = ANU; Violet = Lyneham; Brown = Cook

🤔 Did you know that ANBG's Superb Fairy-wrens (Malurus cyaneus) are some of the most intensively studied wild animals in Australia? Prof. Andrew Cockburn's team at the ANU have studied their mating behaviour since the 1980s - over 35 years! 😮 #scienceweek 📸 Helen Cross
