Emu Austral Ornithology: the value of ornithological research for conservation tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Last week I submitted a certain big document on the Albert's lyrebird. Many thanks to Animal Ecology Lab Lyrebirdlab and the rest of the lab, and Western Sydney U - HIE, for all the support over the last nearly 4 years. Excited to see where the future takes me now! #PhDone #lyrebird

I’m thrilled to be part of the first episode of Ann Jones new podcast, What the Duck?! Which takes a look at Ripper - a musk duck with quite the vocabulary! (Yep, they can mimic!) Can’t wait to hear more from this series, Ann! 😊

I’m very excited to finally make it back to one of my favourite places in the world. I’ll be giving a talk on the 5th about my research on female #lyrebirds. You can attend in person or via zoom! All welcome 😊 #femalesong

The #lyrebird breeding season is well and truly underway! This gorgeous female is nice and cosy in her nest, despite all the rain! #fieldwork #femalebirdsong #peekaboo

I became Doctor Austin today... 6 years... A thesis, first author pubs, early mornings, late nights, a Fulbright Scholarship, documentaries, podcasts, AND, a knee reconstruction, a house, a dog, a baby. Life doesn't stop for a PhD. What a ride! Thank you Lyrebirdlab! #PhDone

I have the privilege of working with superb fairy-wrens for the first time. They are glorious! Here is a nest lined with emu feathers - it’s so pretty! Fairywren Project #femalesong #ornithology

Thanks for having me on the show this morning! It was great to share more about these fabulous animals and the threats to their cultures

Thank you @birderpod ! Was really lovely to talk female birds with you! They may not be as colourful as males but their behaviours are truly fascinating! #femalesong #BirdsOfTwitter #birdwatching

What do all these species have in common? Not much except they are all the species I have worked on to date. A PhD completion gift to myself, created by the incredible Freia Wendy instagram.com/wollemiwaterco… To say I’m over the moon would be an understatement 😊 #birds #ornithology

It was such a pleasure to speak at Hunter Bird Observers Club Hunter Bird Observers Club (HBOC) last night about female vocalisations and female #lyrebirds! You are such a warm, welcoming and passionate group! I hope I can go birding with you all sometime soon! #ornithology

Was fun to be a part of this article by @CarlyCassella for bioGraphic! Male #lyrebirds are great...but female lyrebirds are better :D "Rights for females!" Photos by the amazing Meghan Lindsay #ornithology #femalebirdsong biographic.com/call-of-the-li…

My friend, Bill McQuay’s new podcast is out! Have you heard of the insect apocalypse? Bill takes a look at what the science is really saying - it’s a wonderful listen for people of all ages 😊 #insects #conservation audible.com/pd/Insects-The…

“If females aren’t using mimicry to attract mates, then how does it evolve?” Join Dr. Vicky Austin and the Lyrebirdlab in Australia’s Blue Mountains in search of one of the world’s greatest mimics: bit.ly/3OHrb2c ✍️ @CarlyCassella 📷 Meghan Lindsay

Found this beauty of a #lyrebird nest this morning, nicely nestled under a rock over hang. There’s about 10kg of sticks and moss there - always amazes me that it can stay put! #ornithology #femalebirdsong

A true privilege to be a part of this new paper led by Sonia Kleindorfer accepted in @ASNAmNat - "Nestling begging calls resemble maternal vocal signatures when mothers call slowly to embryos" . Congratulations all! #femalesong #fairywrens #femalebirdvocalisations Female Bird Song

I'm little obsessed with the diversity of fairy-wren nest sites! Acacia, reeds and ferns. All so beautiful! Fairywren Project #fairywren #femalesong #ornithology #fieldwork #birdsofoz

Excited to share our new paper "Maternal in-nest call structure reduces habituation risk in songbird embryos" - out now in J. of Avian Biology! Well done team Sonia Kleindorfer !
