A Cockatoo Love Story

About eight years ago a wild Australian Sulphur Crested Cockatoo flew into a car; and broke a wing. The motorist took it to the Vet in Nerang , Queensland , who had to amputate the wing. We adopted her - for which we needed a National Parks and Wildlife permit - and kept her in a cage outside where she was often visited by wild Cockatoos. One of the things that impressed us was how she would push lettuce leaves through the bars of the cage, offering food to visitors. Read More

Mimic Parrots Got Real Rhythm

"I got rhythm," wrote George and Ira Gershwin but now it seems that parrots and cockatoos share this accomplishment with the human race. Researchers at Harvard University have found that the ability to keep time and groove to the beat, hitherto thought to be a peculiarly human trait, is shared by certain animals - but only those that can mimic sounds. The scientists studied Alex, an African grey parrot, and Snowball, a sulphur crested cockatoo, and determined the birds' movements to music were more co-ordinated with the beat than would be expected by chance

"We found strong evidence they were synchronising with the beat," said lead author Adena Schachner, "something not been seen before in other species."

Their conclusion was reinforced by an examination of animals pictured on the YouTube video database: all the animals that could keep a beat were vocal mimics. The researchers argue that this may be because of an evolutionary link - in humans as well as birds.

"It seems plausible that vocal mimicry and keeping a beat might rely on some of the same mechanisms," Ms Schachner argues.

Bird Song Linked to Survival

"Tra la la, tweedle dee dee, it gives me a thrill" the song goes, but the scientists who wakened to the mockingbird's trill in Durham, North Carolina, were both puzzled and thrilled by the fact that some birds are plain songsters, while others of the same species are the Pavarottis of the skies. At Current Biology online , they advance the idea that more complex song patterns are a response to difficult or demanding environments where female mockingbirds are likely to be on the lookout for a good provider.

Carlos Botero, a researcher at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center, points out that male mockingbirds sing to attract a mate: "Complexity of song display - how many song types a bird sings, how hard the songs are - is a good predictor of the quality of the individual" he argues. "Males that sing more complex songs tend to carry fewer parasites and have offspring that are more likely to survive".

Proof came in the form of recordings of bird song from across the southern hemisphere that could be correlated with climatic conditions. Researchers found that species subject to more variable and unpredictable climates had more elaborate song displays. Botero says: "We're connecting two dots that were far away before."
