    Okay, but why are we obsessed with crows and ravens?
    2026/10/29
    E46. Crows and ravens fill our oldest stories, and plenty of us want one as a friend. Dr. Claudia Wascher, professor of behavioral biology at Anglia Ruskin University, explains what makes corvids seem so clever, when clever turns out to be something simpler, and why befriending them is a bad idea. In this episode, you'll hear about: The crow named Hugo, and what his flock started saying once he was gone Why a walnut dropped at a red light may be less clever than it looks What a goose's heartbeat reveals about how birds feel All audio, video, and images in this episode are either original to Okay, But...

    Okay, but is the lyrebird a liar?
    2026/10/22
    E45. Lyrebirds can copy a chainsaw, a car alarm and a camera shutter, so it is easy to call them liars. Dr. Anastasia Dalziell of Western Sydney University has spent years recording them in the wild, and she explains what the famous Attenborough clip left out and why every sound a lyrebird borrows has a job to do. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why a female lyrebird starts sounding like an eagle when you get too close to her nest What a male does when the female he has been courting tries to walk away The other lyrebird, and the hooked rainforest vine it plays like an instrument All audio, video, and images in this episode are either original to Okay, But...

    Okay, but what's threatening the apex predators of the sky?
    2026/10/15
    E44. An adult eagle has no natural predators, so why are birds of prey declining? Dr. Todd Katzner, a wildlife biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, explains the surprising dangers facing golden eagles and their kin, from spinning wind turbines to a threat small enough to fit on a grain of rice. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why an eagle that can clearly see a wind turbine still flies into one How a hunter's choice of bullet ends up inside an eagle The flap count that tells a vulture whether to risk crossing the sea All audio, video, and images in this episode are either original to Okay, But...
