    Ep 13: The Secret Lives of Parrots

    Think parrots just mimic words? Think again.In this episode of Taking Flight, we dive into the hidden world of parrot communication—where calls carry meaning, friendships run deep, and intelligence rivals some of the smartest animals on the planet. It’s a short listen, but it might completely change how you see these birds.

    Ep 12: Bird Diversity in the Amazon

    The rain forest....not the corporate giant. This episode barely scratches the surface, as it's nearly impossible to discuss all birds in the region. If you're interested in about rainforests and birds that live there...just press play A floresta tropical... não a gigante corporativa. Este episódio mal arranha a superfície, já que é quase impossível falar sobre todas as aves da região. Se você se interessa por florestas tropicais e pelas aves que vivem lá... é só dar o play. (For my Brazilian listeners 🇧🇷Para meus ouvintes brasileiros 🇧🇷)

    Ep 09: Florida Grasshopper Sparrow Conservation

    As you can probably tell by the title, I talk about the Florida Grasshopper Sparrow in this episode, weaving in aspects of my own experience with the species in 2021.

    Ep 08: Tiktok Famous

    In this short episode, I talk about two instances in which Tiktok has raised awareness about wildlife issues. Disclaimer: this was recorded in 2021; so may contain outdated information. The main idea here is Tiktok has so much potential, if it is used correctly, for Wildlife Conservation. Who knows? I might make a sequel to this episode later.. Also side note: Critterfacts Radio, the station that these episodes were initially on, is mentioned a few times in this episode. This is not an endorsement, and the website may have been updated in the last 3 years.

    Ep 06: Communication and Conservation: ft. Elizabeth Hogan

    I really don't know what to put for this episode, as it goes from me talking about social media, to having an awkward conversation with my former writing professor about environmental writing. So if you want to hear my terrible social skills, and hear us go from Thoreau to Tiktok, then go right ahead and click that play button
