Dr Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas at the British Science Festival yesterday! Her research is fascinating. The parrots sing and dance for each other on video calls 🦜💚 #BSF25

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔

When a parrot wanted to connect with a distant friend, a touchscreen showed a selection of other birds available online. The parrots learned to activate the screen, designed specially for them, by touching it gently with their tongues rather than pecking aggressively with their beaks. "We had 26 birds involved," said Hirskyj-Douglas. "They would use the system up to three hours a day, with each call lasting up to five minutes." The interactions ranged from preening and playing with toys to loud vocal exchanges. "When we went through the data, we found that most of these parrots had favourite friends," said Hirskyj-Douglas.

7am start today to head up country for my #DNA session at #bsf25. Hopefully into Liverpool for midday!

May I also remind you that Awesome #Science demands the very best shoes. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise 😉
