Hello, All!
This week, we have Deborah Bruce giving a talk titled "A Journey Down the Crow
Road"
Here is a short blurb to spark your interest:
A growing body of research suggests that Corvids may in fact be "Feathered
Apes", as some of their cognitive abilities appear to be comparable with that of some
primates. While studies have been conducted with Ravens, Rooks and Jays, Carrion crows
have received very little attention. Much of corvid cognitive research is conducted in
captive settings, with very little evidence from the field. The aim of my research project
is to take the "Lab to the Field", with a series of paradigms designed to
examine physical cognition. My talk will give a brief outline of my proposed studies along
with an overview of the feasibility study I've been conducting on campus over the
last year.
As usual, BERG will start at 5:30pm in the common room - all welcome!
