Just found out that in 2019 in Canberra, two pigeons took poppies from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to build a nest. The same animal whose participation in the great wars was largely forgotten, ends up using the symbol of remembrance to build a nest on spikes made to keep them away 🥹 #Pigeonsky

5/10 of these design proposals are bird centered !!!! The non-bird designs look super corporate to me tbh. Design J is defo my favorite, although the back could be more interesting.

Really cool vid ! Mostly accurate as far as I know (the few issues are not a big deal), a decent crash course for people who don't know much ! And also super cool to show other cool pigeon species ! youtu.be/4N3jokphBZA #PigeonSky #Pigeons

2) Again, not exactly clear on how they perceive magnetic fields (although recent research on iron rich liver immune cells is promising), and we know their ability to home consists of an intricate combination of factors she mentions here, it would be better to frame them as inclusive with eachother.
3) The framing around use in WW1 is a bit misleading as she only mentions use by the US army, possibly leading people to think of the US army as a pioneer, the first one to do it or the main user of pigeons. In reality pigeon use in war had been used already for millenia by various different actors.

It was very nice to be asked by @theconversation.com to write about this fascinating new research. Pigeons in Bronze Age Cyprus! Big congrats to the authors. Excited to see what more we can learn about the early stages of the human-pigeon relationship… doi.org/10.64628/AB....

Rob's theme for #BirdOfTheDay today is #Nesting so I've got my photo of a #WoodPigeon and my husband's photo of the #Jay (being as it's #Thursjay as well). 😁 #birds
Good morning. Today's #BirdOfTheDay Theme is #Nesting, birds carrying nesting material, the Alt Theme is #Paridae, any of the species. Sadly no time to tell their stories today 😞 #birds #ECK #photography @rspb.bsky.social #BBCSpringwatch #ukbirding #birdphotography #BirdLife #CanonR5mkii #wildlife

Behold, a feeding frenzy of Plum Sharks! Plum sharks AKA kererū, the NZ wood pigeon. Plums are in full fruit in Ōtautahi-Christchurch city, NZ, at the moment. I was on Valley Road today in Cashmere there were at least 11 kererū feasting in the plum trees up the […] [Original post on mastodon.nz]
