Research co-authored by the Department of Biology's Dr Matilda Brindle suggests that avian masturbation is an ancient and natural behaviour, occurring across species, sexes and age groups.

The study could reshape how scientists view bird behaviour and welfare ⬇️

While other animals sweat or pant to stay cool, echidnas have other ideas. ☀

Turns out echidnas blow snot bubbles and perform belly flops.

[Beastly Business Project @BeastlyProject]

Really important piece from @DrEmilineSmith & @ScienceHeys - in our team we had an early discussion about our boundaries, places we did and did not want to go, things we did and did not want to see in IWT research. This was not perfect at all, but it was vitally important to talk

Chilean reporter's earbud stolen on live TV!

Yes, that's a monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus), native to Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil and Bolivia - east of the Andes - but introduced in Chile, where this incident took place on @CHVNoticias

[Chloe Heys @ScienceHeys]

Our latest paper is out! An important intro in the discussions around mental health in illegal wildlife trade research @DrEmilineSmith

[Emiline Smith @DrEmilineSmith]

Short piece by @ScienceHeys & myself: we hope to start more conversations around ethics and mental health in research into trade and trafficking of natural resources @ConLetters #MentalHealthMatters #LetsTalk #Positionality #Reflexivity @ArtParrotsCrime - https://t.co/YAZq8ErCU6

[Sicily Fiennes 🇵🇸 @sicilyfiennes]

Amazing tweet from the rest of the @ArtParrotsCrime crew, well done @DrEmilineSmith and @ScienceHeys! SUCH an important discussion on mental health impacts of studying trafficking. We need much more of this and incorporating more ethics of care into research 🧐
