Syma and Tim talk to Professor Joan Strassmann about the social life of birds. We cover a range of topics she writes about in her excellent new book, including flocking, social roosting, mating together, and raising chicks in a commune. Learn about redshanks seeking safety in numbers to neotropical cuckoos building communal nests and then pushing out the eggs of other females.

Strassmann’s book is called “The Social Life of Birds: Flocks, Communes and Families”.

It is published by Headline Press in the UK and Tarcher in the US.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Social-Lives-Birds-Joan-Strassmann-ebook/dp/B0DFTY5184/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2R65LGBAPF9YJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.imkNYnQMu1aTowV-UccyvA.B8ehnVRInjZzzwS4mm79Lwd7mKpMfhazgmKOQNNgY6U&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+social+life+of+birds&qid=1754064334&sprefix=the+social+life+of+birds%2Caps%2C84&sr=8-1
