New 2-year open Postdoc position, with opportunities to 1) get closely involved in our next
@TheManyBirds study on innovation and problem-solving; 2) work with EcoBird on avian innovation, cognition & invasiveness. Advert: https://t.co/eUG6WZP3W0

@CCRG_MPIBI It was great to work with you and your team, too, Auguste!

[Jimena Lois-Milevicich @JimeLOISM]

The first empirical paper from
@themanybirds.bsky.social is out in @PLOSBiology ! 🎉 https://t.co/o0cG1Lrbjo Thanks to our amazing collaborators, we tested neophobia in 130+ species across 25 taxonomic orders!🕊️🦜🐓🦚🦉🦆🐦🐧🦅🦃

It's been great to be a part of such a large scale collaborative project. A big thanks to Basel Zoo for letting us work with their birds! @cog_comp_Neuch @ZooBasel

[Dr Rachael Miller (Harrison) @Dr_RMiller]

So excited that our first major empirical @TheManyBirds paper is now out in @PLOSBiology! Leading this big team science project, with our excellent core leadership team, is a labour of love for me, delighted to see our hard work over the past 4 years has reached this point!

This landmark collaboration united 129 researchers from 82 institutions across 24 countries 🌎
The #ManyBirds Project shows how open, global science can uncover the ecological drivers of behaviour & evolution, complementing critical single-lab work.

🚨 Event Alert! 🚨Curious about putting #OpenScience into practice in comparative cognition? 🐦👶Join our FREE OPEN #webinar on Sept 12 with @emmatecwyn & Dr. Ben Farrar🐸🐐Open to ALL interested in animal & comparative cognition🐒🐙Details & registration: https://t.co/28HpVgn7EF

[ManyManys @TheManyManys]

Do you study behavior in one or more species? Then you could contribute data to the large-scale ManyManys 1 study on reversal learning across taxa! Join our open webinar series to learn how to get involved in Big Team Comparative Cognition! Register here: https://t.co/JZ6Ybo8a1M

[ManyBirds Project @TheManyBirds]

A reminder about our OPEN CALL for submission of potential future ManyBirds studies: https://t.co/63h2Hnmeig. Please see link for all info on the process and planned review criteria. Deadline for submission is 31 May 2025. We welcome new ManyBirds collaborators to future studies!
