Researchers taught 18 pet parrots to ring a bell and select another bird’s picture on a touchscreen to request a video call. During 147 bird-initiated calls, the parrots developed preferred partners and preened, sang and played toward the screen — while caregivers reported that some appeared to learn new behaviors, including foraging, from birds they had never met in person.

A sleeping octopus doesn't just go still, its skin flickers through color changes and texture shifts, with twitches recurring every 30 to 40 minutes, a second, more active sleep stage that a later brain-recording study found produces neural activity resembling an awake brain

A cattle parasite changes the smell of the animals it infects, and tsetse flies carrying it showed raised activity in several odour-receptor genes alongside reduced activity in five light-sensing genes — traps baited with a three-phenol blend caught twice the share of infected flies that unbaited traps did

Four turbines on a Norwegian island had one of their three blades painted black in the first week of August 2013, and the 6 white-tailed eagle carcasses found under them in the years before dropped to 0 after, while the 4 unpainted turbines next door went from 7 bodies to 18.

In a Kalahari experiment, meerkat pups received 4 live, stingless scorpions a day for 3 days — on day 4, all 6 pups in that group handled another stingless scorpion successfully, after the researchers had copied the graduated lessons offered by adult meerkats.

New York set out to cover 30 percent of the city in tree canopy by 2030, but has since moved the date to 2040. Trees covered 23.4 percent of the city when it was last measured in 2021, about 45,000 acres, and closing that gap means adding about 700 acres of canopy every year until 2040.
