Parental Provisioning in an Urban Apex Predator [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We combine high‐definition webcams and citizen science to explore parental care in urban peregrine falcons from 30 locations across England between 2020 and 2023. By analysing detailed webcam footage, we quantified changes in prey type and delivery rates as chicks developed.

Common cuckoo eggs are more resistant to puncture by the host [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeThe puncture resistance hypothesis suggests that thick-shelled eggs of parasitic birds can resist puncture-ejection by the host. However, few experiments have yet been conducted to test this hypothesis in terms of natural host behavior (e.g., pecking at ...

Unmasking Budgerigar Splenic Leukocyte Populations With Single-Cell Transcriptomics and Multiplex RNA In Situ Hybridization [PDF]
Journal of Immunology ResearchThe current understanding of the avian immune system primarily stems from research conducted in chickens, given their economic significance as a food source. Extending the research to other avian species like Psittaciformes requires the use of label-free

Memory-specific correlated neuronal activity in higher-order auditory regions of a parrot
Scientific Reports, 2021 Male budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) are open-ended learners that can learn to produce new vocalisations as adults. We investigated neuronal activation in male budgerigars using the expression of the protein products of the immediate early genes ...
