I took my very first photographs of a Fan-tailed Cuckoo today! They've been a Nemesis Bird of mine for many years now so this is a big deal for me :)
#birds
Photograph of a small cuckoo perched on a black identifying sign. The bird is grey, bugg, and white, with a dark beak, black and white tail feathers, and yellow rings around its eyes. It is round and fluffy, looking cute and innocent despite being a parasitic cuckoo. The sign identifies a species of plant (not pictured), reading "Edgeworthia chrysantha, 'Grandiflora', Thymelaeaceae"

Hi #ornithologists !

I need to confirm a fact about european #kingfishers. I want to know if they are monogamous for life or not. I fact-checked my sources (books, internet articles mainly) and sometimes it's a yes, and sometimes, a no.

So, is it depending of the geographical region? 🐦

NEW PAPER: how does urban noise, lights, and stress disrupt birds’ sleep? This review shows that our knowledge about this is fragmeneted and calls for direct tests linking disturbed sleep to bird behavior, fitness, and survival.

Fig. 1 from the article: A representation of the state of research on the impacts of sleep disturbance on birds. The size of the arrows represents the relative abundance of studies between the connected concepts. Blue arrows indicate that data are available, with thicker arrows indicating a greater amount of data. The grey dotted line represents a relative lack of empirical data.

The dwarf mongoose is pretty much my favorite herpestid, and not just because it's an accomplished spelunker. They manage to get themselves into all sorts of nooks and crannies.
