Patterns of food provisioning seem to be very different from park to park in Florida. Trying to quantify how predictable it is in time and space for each location, I have a couple of ideas, but has anyone done something similar?

So honored to have received the Best 15 Minutes Presentation award at the Integrative Conservation Conference. I don't always think of myself as a conversationist and don't always feel valid attending these meetings, so this was a surprise!

If you work on corvid ecology, behaviour, cognition, or conservation, this might be useful for you 👇 I’ve just published CORVIDATA in Scientific Data 🐦 doi.org/10.1038/s415... (1/4)

It's such a privilege to get to spend my days looking at what my tagged birds do when confronted to this strange box. I am getting to know them I catch myself look at ibis A and think "you remind me of ibis B". I am excited to quantify how their individual traits impact how they treat the puzzle!

Directly from the field: watch this ibis figure out how to solve our automated puzzle box

Please share share share! I launched a crowdfunding for my project, I need your help! Note: if you become a backer, you will be notified with bonus avian encounters at the parks! Wanna see spoonbills, cranes and bald eagles? Even a tiny donation will help me <3 experiment.com/projects/cit...

City smart: Are cities making birds smarter?

One cannot go to Florida and miss the White Ibises roaming golf, park and private lawns. But how does a swamp-loving ibis become a city bird? We’re testing whether urban ibises are cleverer than their...

A good start of the field season, deployment successful, ibises are interested in the puzzle! We still have some adjustments to make but hopefully we will get started on the actual data collection very shortly!

Very excited to announce that I will be presenting my work for the Urban Ibis Project at the #BOU2026 @bou.org.uk along with great researchers who have directly inspired my research. See you there !

Fascinating!! Also a topic that has been on my mind for a while. In fact, I will be deploying puzzle boxes to test problem-solving in urban and non-urban flocks of ibises this winter. It took a couple years to develop my boxes, I am excited to see if we can find similar patterns in our birds!

Preliminary results on our ibis community structure based off citizen science data is here! What we see is that communities are quite distinct from one another, although there seem to be some individuals that bridge them together! Given how many ibises there are, it was lucky for us to detect that!

🪶 New map, new questions: I am making an attempt at using community scientists' photos to link movement with breeding status. Here is what I am learning so far:

Sharing an article I wrote about vertebrate scavengers, the topic of my Master's thesis. I worked in Madhya Pradesh in Central India, studying vertebrate scavenger communities in two different protected areas - one with an abundance of vulture, one without. roundglasssustain.com/wild-vault/s...

Vultures and other scavengers not only clear decaying animal corpses, protecting us from disease, but their absence could also destabilise entire ecosystems

To your left, what a White Ibis wing typically looks like: white feathers with black tip only for the last primaries. To your right, a special individual captured last winter. We captured over 500 birds for this project over almost 2 decades and had never seen that! #ornithology #birds #biodiversity

Starting a VERY low-budget community science project on White Ibises was a bold move considering the scale of their movement, but it paid off! All of our sightings outside of capture sites came from community scientists, who found our birds as far as Orlando and Tampa!
