New York’s shore birds to drones: “Not in our beach yard!”

A recent study has shown that hummingbirds master flight with a surprising mix of “autopilot” for forward motion and precise vision for hovering, offering clues for programming next-gen autonomous drones and flying cars.

A Green Honeycreeper exhibiting half-female, half-male plumage, a rare phenomenon known as bilateral gynandromorphism, was documented in Columbia by a University of Otago zoologist. This second recorded instance in over a century offers valuable insights into avian biology.

A new study reveals a devastating truth: human activities have driven the extinction of twice as many bird species as we previously knew. The disappearance of these birds signifies more than their vanishing, it also disrupts crucial ecological roles essential for the balance of ecosystems.

Oliver’s aggressive campaign for the lesser-known Puteketeke, known for its vomiting habit, sparked a controversy, with Kiwis expressing discontent over the manipulation of a contest celebrating their native avian species. Despite this he has revived interest in ornithology.
