BirdNote provides short, engaging episodes about birds and bird behavior
While this podcast covers many broad and interesting scientific topics, there are also many podcasts covered here on animals and birds.
A very interesting podcast on non-human communication. It concentrates on understanding what animals are saying to us.
Here are some well-known researchers who have made significant contributions to the understanding of non-human language and communication
Northern Arizona University, AZ
Dr. Slobodchikoff is known for his research on animal communication, particularly studying prairie dog language. His work involves decoding and understanding the complex communication system of prairie dogs.
Muhlenberg College, PA
Dr. Klem is a pioneer in the study of bird collisions with buildings. He has conducted extensive research on the causes and prevention of bird-window collisions. His work includes studies on bird vision, the effectiveness of bird-friendly glass, and ways to reduce bird mortality from collisions.
American Bird Conservancy, VA
Dr. Sheppard is the Director of the Bird Collisions Program at the American Bird Conservancy. Her work focuses on understanding the causes of bird collisions with glass and developing strategies to mitigate this issue. She has been involved in research, advocacy, and the promotion of bird-friendly building designs.
John Hopkins, MD - Formerly with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Dr. Manville has worked extensively on bird collisions with communication towers and buildings. He has researched the impacts of tall structures on bird populations and has contributed to guidelines for making communication towers and buildings more bird-friendly.
Harvard University, MA
Dr. Pepperberg is renowned for her work with African Grey Parrots. Her research focused on avian cognition, language learning, and communication abilities in parrots, challenging traditional notions about non-human intelligence
University of Iowa and Formerly with Great Ape Trust, IO
Dr. Savage-Rumbaugh conducted pioneering research with bonobos. Her work involved exploring language acquisition, symbol use, and communication in bonobos, challenging the boundaries of language in non-human primates.
Hunter College, City University of New York, NY
Dr. Reiss is a cognitive psychologist known for her research on dolphin cognition, communication, and self-awareness. Her work has provided insights into the complex cognitive abilities and communication systems of dolphins.
Colorado State University, CO
While primarily known for her work in animal welfare and behavior in livestock, Dr. Grandin has contributed to the understanding of animal communication and cognition, emphasizing the importance of sensory experiences.
Here are some other great resources
The National Audubon Society is one of the best sites to understand more about bird support and protection. It covers the science, advocacy, and education of birds.
Chicago Bird Collision Monitors is a volunteer project dedicated to the safety and protection of birds. They land up recovering birds killed in downtown Chicago during the migratory season. They also advocate and do outreach to promote bird-safe environments.
All About Birds from Cornell Lab of Ornithology is one of the most comprehensive resources for bird information. They have detailed information about most bird species. Cornell Lab of Ornithology also publishes other websites like eBird, Project FeederWatch, NestWatch, Macaulay Library and a number of other resources on ornithology.
