This study shows that sulphur-crested cockatoos form stable dominance hierarchies despite dynamic social interactions and open group membership.

The paper investigates how urbanization and social factors influence innovation in sulphur-crested cockatoos using extractive-foraging tasks.

The paper shows male sulphur-crested cockatoos breed closer to their winter social associates, while females do not, indicating sex-dependent carry-over of social relationships to breeding proximity.

The paper studies a human-wildlife conflict arms race between Sydney residents and cockatoos, showing social learning drives adaptation and policy impacts can shift conflict.

This study identifies a multitiered social network structure in zebra finches, with distinct tiers of social contacts maintained by different mechanisms.

This study examines allopreening in wild sulphur-crested cockatoos, finding it correlates with aggression and social association strength rather than pair bonding.

The paper introduces 3D-SOCS, a system for collecting behavioral data on wild birds using synchronized video, and finds it can estimate 3D postures and characterize visual fields in great tits.

The paper examines how social structure influences vocal diversity in monk parakeets, finding age, nest mate number, and group size affect call diversity, while relatedness and affiliative bonds influence call similarity.

This study shows that great tits adjust their social learning strategies based on environmental changes, using social information more when payoffs and environments differ.

This paper introduces a low-cost, low-energy animal tracking system using Bluetooth low energy beacons and crowd-sourced mobile phone networks to enable long-term tracking of small animals in urban and non-urban environments.
