The superb fairy wren and it’s implications
It’s 5* haymazing. The superb fairy wren.



They teach their young a “password” to defend against cuckoos.

[link to www.wired.com (secure)]
“Hosts must walk a precarious line in defending themselves against brood parasites. Too lax, and they end up spending valuable time and energy raising another bird's chicks. Too strict, and they run the risk of rejecting one of their own eggs by mistake. For the best results, hosts should modify how defensive they are against parasites in relation to the risk they pose.”

They sing to their eggs...

Re: The superb fairy wren and it’s implications
The implications are nearly too numerous to properly catalogue.

This whole password thing is impossible for a species that cannot talk right away.

What does this imply about cucks and cuckold culture, and how to apply to people the defenses that are made in the natural world?

And what about enhanced brain development from exposure to sound for babies still in the womb (egg) ?

Re: The superb fairy wren and it’s implications
Cuckoos are scary birds, I'm glad these birds have a defense system.

Magpies make me sad because they eat baby birds, I saw a baby starling that fell out of it's nest getting attacked by two magpies, happily robins were trying to defend it.

Rescued it, waited a long time for the parents to come back, but they didn't so I raised it until it could fly and eat on it's own. I still miss that little bird. Starling's sonar dynamic with sound is amazing.

Did you leave Australia?

Yes, cuckoos are scary.

I love the magpies! A bird that falls out of the nest is as good as dead, every bird knows that, and someone is gonna eat it. Magpies are wonderful birds!

The superb fairy wren is an Australian bird, and I see them.

I saw the Magpies eat too many baby quails.

I thought it was wonderful the robins were defending the baby starling. Starlings are so intelligent and it was very affectionate, I got a per carrier for it and even took it in the bus with me. Fed it beef baby food with a popsicle stick. It learned to fly in my office, supervisor was luckily ok with the paper work that got pooped on.

Love the wrens, see them every morning with coffee and cig. Always so happy, singing, amazing maneuverability in the air and they jump around the ground like they're hyperactive

Re: The superb fairy wren and it’s implications
What a beauty of a bird. I've had 2 winter wrens land on my head and hang out for a bit, like 6-7 minutes...then fly back out the door. Don't know what that means but it was kind of neat. I do not have lomg hair. I prefer birds to humans...

When sex is continually brought up in discussions,its proof the speakers are mentally ill.
This has been an ongoing issue since obama got in office.its time to drop the sex talk on glp unless the thread is specific to that subject.

So basic human biology is mental illness I guess according to Robo but the stalker spam threads about a child named Greta are fine though

how does a horse NOT know about catbirds? They are everywhere and sound exactly like cats in the trees. Some girls at the barn thought they were squirrels. Don't sound like birds at all

ever heard of sitting in the catbird seat? They are SMART birds.

thanks for link

Re: The superb fairy wren and it’s implications
I thought of this thread. While I was looking at the candle burning in front of my votive, it is lit because a lot of people need prayers and it my Christ-Mass Day. But my votive is in my large window and then they came. Hundreds and hundreds of winter wrens landing in an alder then spreading out across the yard. I have never seen so many and it did tie in with my lighting the votive and praying for a bunch of people.

It made me very happy!
