INTRODUCTION
Welcome friends this is your host tracy shoolman with today’s episode of Gaia Translate I was drawn to channel the Great spirit of the Magpie after hearing a fascinating report on NPR in which researchers had attached GPS tracking devices to a number of magpies to study the species and how other magpies quickly set about helping the birds equipped with the tracking devices by pecking at them to remove them.
“Researchers tried to attach tracking devices to magpies for a study. But the magpies helped each other to remove them — a possible sign, the scientists say, of altruism in the birds.”
