Bird Brains and Vision: A Deeper Dive The Bird's Eye View: Specialized Brain Regions Birds possess remarkable visual capabilities, supported by four specialized brain regions, each playing a crucial role…
Alright, so let’s talk about these super rare birds, the Citron-crested Cockatoos, living on this Indonesian island called Sumba. They’re in big trouble, basically, and scientists are trying to figure out why.
Please let us know what’s important to you in the comments below.
While parrots like African greys and cockatoos have been studied for their problem-solving abilities and mimicry, research on the emotional depth, intelligence, and problem-solving skills of smaller parrots (like budgies and lovebirds) and other pet birds (such as finches and canaries) is far more limited.
Attention all bird lovers and aspiring parakeet owners!
If you’ve ever wondered about the enchanting world of parakeets, look no further.
Introduction: What is Molt, and Why Does It Matter?
Birds rely on their feathers for flying, staying warm, and even communicating with each other.
But feathers don’t last forever. Over time, they wear out, break, or fade, so birds need to replace them regularly. This process is called molt.
Have you ever wondered how birds breathe, eat, and lay eggs?
Just like humans, birds have hearts, lungs, and digestive systems that help them survive.
Imagine you’re in a world where chickens have to deal with tiny invisible enemies called viruses.
These viruses can make them sick and cause something called avian leukosis, which is a type of cancer in birds.

This study looks at how different species of birds live and breed in areas that humans have changed in Inner Mongolia, China.
It focuses on six bird species often found together in the same area.
