3/3 I spent 5 years there and try to visit every time I go home, I would probably be a very different person if Action for Wildlife hasn't 'happened' to me 🥲
Definitely consider #volunteering there if you are interested: www.drasi-agriazoi.gr/en/about/

Thanks to everyone coming to my talk at #Behaviour2023 yesterday! 🙏😊
If you missed it but are curious about the emergence of starling murmurations, pigeon flocks escaping a robotic predator, agent-based modelling and applications, come and find me 🙋♀️

🚨New PhD paper out! We present a new ABM & metrics of collective turning 🐦 We investigate how positional changes relate to update frequency, topological range, alignment and attraction, and study these properties in pigeons under attack
