Cuckoos. Pesky parasites or paragons of behavioural evolution, depending how you look at it
I was on the Naked Scientists again last Sunday, but back in the studio in Cambridge. I was so busy catching up on the gossip with co-host (and new author!) Helen Scales that I forgot to take any pictures this week. Blog FAIL.
Anyway, it was a really fun show, as always, based loosely on the science of birds. We had a fascinating discussion about cuckoos with Becky Kilner, and an interview with the aptly named Chris Bird talking about clever crows. Plus flying protractors in kitchen science.
Here’s the show – enjoy!
