Back to EpisodesUnraveling Bird Myths: Debunking 'Bird Brain,' Baby Birds, and Monogamy
Description
Welcome to The Backyard Naturalists, the show about anything and everything connected with nature.
This week, Debbie and Laurie have a conversation around some of the weird and off the wall myths about birds they've heard lately. Some of which include, is the phrase "bird brain" really an insult? How about does touching a baby bird really cause the mother to abandon it and, are birds monogamous?
During the show, you hear Debbie mention a wonderful read, The Genius of Birds by Jennifer Ackerman.
