Cooper’s Song of the Month
“Like a Feather” by Andrew Combs.
Cooper’s Day Off
Coronation Cooper
Cooper was excited to receive an invitation to the king’s coronation.
She loved the illustrated invite, but thinks the birds should have been budgies.
She wasn’t sure what to wear, so she decided to take her cue from the invitation.
She enjoyed the pomp and circumstance, but the coronation service was a bit long for a little budgie. So she did a little daydreaming to pass the time.
Budgies rule!

“This is no cave!”
Ring Ring…
In a new study, researchers from Northeastern University, the University of Glasgow and MIT found that given the choice, birds would call each other.
Eighteen birds participated in the study (three dropped out early on). They were taught how to work with the smartphones and tablets, and were able to decide if they wanted to make video calls to fellow birds.
They found that the birds would initiate calls, and would “learn skills from their video friends, including foraging, new vocalizations and even flying.” The phone calls were especially beneficial for birds who were isolated. Two elderly macaws formed a deep bond through their calls.
