Five white Goffin's cockatoos sit on various branches of a small tree with large green leaves. They have cute, big eyes and quite small beaks. They are about the same size as the leaves.
Why did some birds evolve to be so clever? Mark O'Hara & Berenika Mioduszewska took on the challenge of studying wild Goffin's cockatoos on a small Indonesian island.
Their exciting findings help answer that question.

My friends Rachel and Megan started a podcast on Animal Behaviour and it is fantastic! They both have a PhD in the field and in each episode they interview a friend working on different animal species. It is great fun, highly educational, and accessible for everyone.
