The recent Chennai Rains, one marked by the advent of the north east monsoon on October 15, might not have followed the original script, the one penned by weather watching professionals, but it has taken a predictable course in one sense: throwing birds off course. During this period, two birders had unlikely visitors in their neck of the woods — a chestnut winged cuckoo in Pallikaranai and a lesser frigate bird in Perambur

New research reveals the secret behind the remarkable intelligence of some bird species

Calling someone “bird brain” used to be considered as an insult. Birds’ brains are very small compared to those of mammals, and what’s more, they lack the heavily wrinkled cerebral cortex, which is characteristic of the human brain, and widely believed to the seat of intelligence. It was, therefore, widely assumed that birds aren’t very clever creatures, but recently this has started to change.

New research shows that frigatebirds can sleep on the wing, with just one or both halves of their brain

When Charles Darwin arrived at the Galápagos Islands in 1839, he had the opportunity to observe the habits of frigatebirds, and marvelled at their graceful flight manoeuvres and their ability to soar up high. “When it sees any object on the surface of the water,” he wrote, “[it] descends from a great height… with the swiftness of an arrow; and at the instant of seizing with its long beak and outstretched neck, the floating morsel, it turns upwards, with extraordinary dexterity, by the aid of its forked tail, and its long, powerful wings.”
