Ornithology (BIRDS) Encore Presentation with James Maley

Published: Dec. 25, 2018, 1 a.m.

Birds! Horned screamers! Winged pirates! Just in time for the Audubon's winter Christmas Bird Count (which goes until Jan. 5) here is an encore presentation of an early episode. Professional bird-person and all around cool dude James Maley joins Alie to talk about bird mating, monogamy, the cult of ornithology, absurd birds, parrots that are smarter than your friends' kids, a surprising fact about owl ears and history's most tragically zealous bird nerds. If you love birds, you'll be at home. If a bird did you dirty, you'll open your heart and learn to love again.\n\nMoore Lab of Zoology on Instagram @mlzbirds\n\nJames Maley on Twitter\n\nMore links at\xa0www.alieward.com\n\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month:\xa0www.Patreon.com/ologies\n\nOlogiesMerch.com\xa0has hats, shirts, pins, totes!\n\nFollow @Ologies on\xa0Twitter\xa0or\xa0Instagram\n\nFollow @AlieWard on\xa0Twitter\xa0or\xa0Instagram\n\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\n\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies
