On the last 9 months, 4 studies (at my knowledge) around #Honeyguides was realized in Africa. The relation between #birds and people is one of the most stupendous we can see in the wild. 🪶

The Ancient Honey Hunting Tradition That Depends on a Wild Bird Explore honey hunting in Africa, where greater honeyguides work with humans in a rare and vanishing wildlife partnership.

Cooperative human signals to honeyguides form local dialects Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.

Sophie finished the show by highlighting a new study about the cooprations between the #Honeyguides and humans in Mozambique, and how dialects influence behaviour of the #birds 🦉

That's it for today? See you next week for our next wrap ^^
