Listen to Dr Barbara Klump talking with Chris Bath on ABC Sydney about the Cockatoo bin-opening survey Please help us map bin-opening by reporting whether you "have" or "have not" observed this behaviour: tinyurl.com/y8a5 Full chat on our Facebook page Please SHARE

(1/7) What makes an urban bird? How do we define just how 'urban' a particular species is? Some species, like this Noisy Miner, are clearly well-adapted to exploit urban areas! We address this #ornithology question in a recent paper in Oikos: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Hey Chris Bath Costa Georgiadis Dr John Martin Australian Citizen Science Association Sydney Society for Conservation Biology ABC Sydney Sean Dooley HabitatSteppingStone Darryl Jones Dieter Hochuli Kris French Richard Major AB Bishop Pls retweet - and see many (all?) of you there!

On #WorldBiodiversityDay, its important to understand the unique values people derive from nature. We demonstrated (doi.org/10.1080/147240…) how #birders and #twitchers value #biodiversity. Vagrant Aleutian Terns in Old Bar, NSW in summer 2017/2018 generated >$200,000 AUD!

But birders driving around comes at a cost (e.g., carbon emissions). We did find that, in general, most birders would be willing to donate money to NGOs, in order to view vagrants, suggesting that there are conservation fundraising options that could be explored! #conservation

Although restricted to a 15 square kilometre island in the Southwest Pacific Ocean, populations of the endangered Lord Howe Island Woodhen are still maintaining social distancing! Australian Museum Animal Conservation australianmuseum.net.au/blog/amri-news…

New research reveals that a cockatoo flipping a bin-lid is a far more significant behaviour than first thought - watch out for these clever cockies!

The world-first research proves our cockies learn the unique bin-opening behaviour through social learning. australiangeographic.com.au/topics/wildlif…
