Parrot massages cat's head

This is a video of an (I believe) Umberella cockatoo giving a pet cat a massage on the head. It was too cute to be ignored. It's quite interesting that two species that would be considered enemies (predator and prey) be able to have such a close bond with each other. Lately I have been interested in birds, especially in parrots and have been searching through the net on what type of pet birds and parrots there are, what they are like, how they sing or talk, how to train and more. I even went to PetSmart and got pamplet on certain parrots.

Ants! Nature's Secret Power
Bert Hoelldobler
Related animal: Ant
FASCINATING DOCUMENTARY into the world of ants. Description from wikipedia: "Bert Hoelldobler, friend of world renowned scientist Edward Wilson, is a world authority on these amazing animals. He has dedicated his life, travelling around the world, to understand these. Through his eyes and his words we will be transported into the world of the ants. A world more wonderful and bizarre than any science fiction. "Ants" will reveal this alien world for the first time, in the company of a true authority and enthusiast." This particular clip shows the excavation of a plastered nest of a colony of ants, described by the narrator as a "secret megalopolis" or "city-state."

Cue to 29:20. presentation in CARTA's Evolutionary Origins of Art and Aesthetic Series. Povinelli is very critical to the idea of non-human animals producing art. However his concept of art is very limited and uninformed. It is basically defined as a process dealing with beauty and resulting in an object such as sculpture or painting.

Unknown Collaboration: Viruses
Nathan Wolfe
Related animals: Monkey, Viruses
Nathan Wolfe studies the early interface of viral movement known as viral chatter. This is the idea that we can study the movement of viruses from animals to humans and, thus catches them before they become completely adapted human viruses. He goes into the field and studies populations that have constant contact with wild animals and monitor and identify the viruses in the animals and the humans and how these viruses move from one species to another. Hunters are asked to collect blood from the Bush meat they catch and eat and Wolfe uses the specimens to map viruses. Bush meat is a huge issue where humans are eating animals that have viruses because of food instability and economic equality. Thus we cannot blame HIV on the Bushmen of central Africa who are bridging the viruses from animals to humans. Now, 10 years later they have discovered that if you look in the right place you can monitor the viruses coming into humans. Logging roads have allowed these viruses to move into urban areas and expand out of the rural tribes. The Global Viral Forecasting Initiative casts a wide net to watch viruses to prevent new viruses from getting to blood banks, sexual networks, and airplanes. I think this project if very interesting for our interspecies collaboration class because this type of collaboration enables a third party’s success. Humans eating wild animals allow viruses to move from one species to another. Unknowingly, humans and non-human species are continuing in a circle of life that creates new viruses that can cause unforeseen harm to a species. Though Wolfe’s work focuses on preventing epidemics in the human species, he is also helping other species because he is educating the public on the dangers of eating animals that have viruses that effect humans. His work may promote a world where humans are aware that eating a wild animal kills, hurts that species, but is dangerous to their health as well. In the end, predation, which our 130 class has talked about being a destructive interspecies experience, is collaborative for viruses which are also living organism and therefore could be seen as potential collaborators.

Potty Trained Pigs Keep Rivers Clean
Chang Chung-tou
Chan Chung-tou, a pig farmer in Taiwan, taught his hogs to use a litter box to refrain from polluting the river. He has also saved 50% more water and helped him avoid fines for pollution by environmental authorities. Other farmers are being encouraged to follow Chan's lead and train their own pigs. Potty training also helps the pigs because they naturally like to be in a clean environment and gives them something to do and learn.

Art by Animals Exhibit
Related animals: Ape, Elephant, Gorilla, Monkey
This is a video on the recent "Art by Animals" exhibit shown at the University College London. The paintings displayed were created by different zoo animals such as elephants, gorillas, and orangutans. The art was made when the handlers trained the animals to touch their brush to paper in exchange for a treat. The video brings up the question of whether this could be considered art, because it does not seem that the animals are using painting as a form of self expression, they are merely repeating a command that they have been taught. However, painting is a human invented form of self expression and maybe in the animal world they have their own methods, such as birds singing.

While we were on Santa Cruz Island someone wondered why no one had experimented with capturing what a bird sees while it is flying. I found this video a couple of weeks ago about a team of scientists who have developed a camera light enough to strap to the back of a peregrine falcon. The footage of the birds going through the forest really shows the type of agility necessary to glide through all of the trees.

Here is a TED Talks lecture on the artwork of Theo Jansen. Using mostly piping and glass bottles he creates kinetic sculptures that resemble crabs and centipedes and he releases them onto beaches. They are able to move on their own using energy from the wind and can detect when they get too close to the ocean. His goal is to create new "species" of art animals that are able to sustain themselves on the beaches without his help. Watching his artworks move is incredible and is an amazing study of animal movements.
