Nightingales are great singers, but how well can they hit the tone? 🎶 Scientists from Daniela Vallentin’s group at our institute found that nightingales can imitate the pitch of whistles in real time! Read more: https://www.bi.mpg.de/news/2023-07-vallentin

Female sex-role reversal of two coucal bird species is apparently linked to elevated testosterone levels. Male sex-role reversal, however, doesn't require low testosterone levels, as a new study by Wolfgang Goymann shows:

Earlier morning activity of blue tits correlates with higher reproductive success outside the partnership. But getting up early doesn’t necessarily mean more offspring. It could rather be an expression of fitness.

Cuckoos use an egg matching strategy to find the optimal host nest for their eggs. Their choice is based on similarity in egg color.
Watch the video to find out more about the breeding behavior of this two birds!

The early bird catches the worm? Extensive field research on blue tits finds that higher age and earlier morning activity of males correlate independently with more mating success outside their existing partnership.

Blue tits like to visit their neighbors for a reason! New findings of Peter Santema and Bart Kempenaers suggest that the visits can lead to extra-pair reproductive success.
