SpotifyThe bird puzzlerListen to this episode from In the Swarm on Spotify. Have you ever seen a bird opening a puzzle box before? Once a bird figures out how to solve a puzzle, how do different techniques spread into the rest of the population? In this episode, biologist Dr. Michael Chimento joins us to discuss his research on attention in great tits (Parus major) as they socially learn to solve puzzles.

DE: Am 7. Mai musste ich eine schwere Entscheidung treffen: An der rechten Seite einer Einfahrt saß eine Kohlmeise - so nah an meinem Rekorder wie niemals zuvor. An der linken Seite dieser Einfahrt sang eine Amsel, die ich niemals zuvor gehört hatte und die ich unbedingt aufnehmen wollte.

Für welchen der beiden Vögel sollte ich mich entscheiden?

Für die Kohlmeise. Zunächst. Denn auf eine schöne Aufnahme der "neuen" Amsel zu verzichten, tat mir zu weh. So wechselte ich mit meinem Rekorder die Seite der Einfahrt.

Hier hört ihr beide Teil-Aufnahmen: Zunächst die Kohlmeise aus nächster Nähe, im Hintergrund die Amsel, dann ab 00:38 umgekehrt.

EN: On May 7th I had to make a very difficult decision: On the right side of a driveway sat a great tit - closer to my recorder than ever before. To the left of that driveway a blackbird was singing that I had never heard before.

Which of the two birds should I have recorded up close?

At first, I chose the great tit. But because it was too sad for me to miss a wonderfull recording of that "new" blackbird, I went with my recorder to the other side of the driveway.

Here you can hear both parts of the recording: first the great tit up close, the blackbird in the background, then vice versa from 00:38.

My new bird feeder with camera is doing a marvellous job catching all the great tits and sparrows in the village, it seems, though it gets very excitable each time a tree sparrow poses for its lens, insisting it is a hooded crow.

Anyway, tits and sparrows may not be the most exotic birds on Earth but I still like them a lot - and look at the colouring of those 'drab' sparrow feathers... isn't it a gorgeous sight?




A sparrow is sitting on the landing zone of my bird feeder. The camera has caught the sparrow's back. Though not technicolor colourful, there's a beautiful & sharp contrast between the darker greys and lighter almost-yellows. In the background there's a snow-laden tree with another large bird feeder hanging from one of its branches. In the middle left there's an old wooden and iron bench waiting for the spring. Behind that the neighbours' house is partly visible. All the rest is snow.
