Twitter Tuesday 4/16

Following Accounts

This week on twitter, I tried to continue to follow accounts that were either corvid researchers or corvid/bird organizations, because I would like to focus on crows for my research. One organization that I followed was International Bird Rescue (@IntBirdRescue). This organization works on rescuing water birds in crisis, and its twitter account posts lots of information about different types of bird and which ones are endangered. I thought this account would be helpful to know which species are endangered, plus it gives me lots of photos that I can use in the future. Another account that I found super useful was Kaeli Swift's (@corvidresearch), who is an expert crow researcher. Although she isn't very active on her twitter account, she linked her website to it, and it has lots and lots of information on crows. I will definitely use this website throughout my research on crows.

What I Learned

While looking at my classmates posts, I learned lots about all different kinds of animals and really enjoyed it. Specifically, one post that really stood out to me was Tiffany's (@tiffanynguyenUC). She posted about how when penguins mourn, they socially withdraw from others. I thought that was so interesting to see how similar they act to us.

From my own research and tweets, I learned a lot, especially with using Chat GPT to give me unique information about crows. I really liked this tweet in particular, because I thought it was so cute, and never knew that they would play with each other! The original tweet is pictured here, along with an image of two crows playing in the snow.
