Wish I’d been there for that part! Boo to online vivas. Congrats to Dan - great thesis - and lots of luck with next steps 🪶

Good memories. My second attempt, and such a relief!

Perfect. If you can just tick the box in the Behaviors section called "Foraging or eating" that works fine!

Great shot. Will you be uploading to eBird? Would be useful for our dietary analysis

Hmm yeah, I saw that. If it's the post I'm thinking about. Not exactly insightful comments either.

I mean, I agree that some room for debate on socials is good, and comments shouldn't always be fluffy. But the tendency you report is real and annoying

Well done to you and Anne for getting all of us over the line. Long journey! Thanks for getting me involved and for the opportunity to put some well-brewed ideas into words. 🙏🌳🌎

Agreed. We make this point clearly, including the abstract. It's the reason why species-centric conservation has taken centre stage and will continue to do so. Problem is it won't work without better integration with the second column – and fortunately that process of integration is underway.

All good points. I think the key point you are missing is that we are not advocating replacing one strategy with the other. More like the left hand box (traditional conservation approaches) is doomed to fail without better integration with the right hand box

I think your critique is also oversimplistic and false!
Agreed about the co-supportive element though. We make this point very clearly in the paper (including the title)

Warning: May include parrots (all of them)
