Elie identified the 11 core calls used by zebra finches and decoded their meanings. Her research showed that the birds use distinct calls to announce their identity and activities while recognising one another through individual vocal signatures, regardless of what they are saying. She also found that the birds were more likely to confuse calls with similar meanings than those with similar sounds.
Very cool, imoEvery animal we can learn how they communicate brings us one step closer to our nature. Someday we'll be able to hold a real conversation with something and it'll be world changing (hopefully)
Yup. Rock* is a shit company. News at 11. They probably look great on the resume though.
