When talking about the partnership between humans and a bird called the greater honeyguide, Elizabeth Pennisi tells us that the bird will lead the way to a bee nest and feast on it after the human hunters have disturbed the hive. Also the humans and birds communicate through specific calls made by the humans and birds. It is believed that these birds find nests 75% of the time. Also the birds guided the humans 66% of the time with the proper call. The birds can even pick up on several different calls the humans make and respond properly to them. I believe this is a good piece of public facing work because it is short and very interesting because of the topic at hand. Many people believe most animals do not understand humans except for something like a dog but this article can show people that animals are not as dumb as we may think they are.
