Birds of a Feather Learn Together: How Birds Learn Like You & Me!

In this Wow in the World episode, Mindy and Guy Raz take flight into the fascinating world of bird learning and communication! The Wow Crew is dropping off Reggie at the University of Clever Birds, where they learn about a new class all about opening... trash cans?! Discover how the Sulfur-Crested Cockatoo can break into any trash can!

From parrots mimicking speech to crows solving complex puzzles, birds have some of the most brilliant brains in the animal kingdom. This episode explores how birds teach one another new skills, share knowledge across generations, and adapt to survive, all thanks to their incredible ability to learn from observation and teamwork!

In Wow in the World, the #1 science podcast for kids and families, Mindy and Guy uncover the science behind animal intelligence, cooperation, and curiosity. Discover why scientists study how birds learn together, what that tells us about evolution, and how these behaviors mirror the way kids learn from friends and family every day!
