I've been watching this Lilac-crowned Amazon follow water birds around for years. Often times much to their exasperation.
All of these behavior changes can occur in adult dogs as well. Tail chasing can be attributed to other behavior problems such as displacement behavior, epileptic episodic behavior, psychotic disorders, or even acrodermatitis (Landsberg, et al., 2003). Behavior modification and drug therapy may help correct the problem. If the dog is tail chasing because of hypothyroidism, the problem is usually corrected when the dog is placed on thyroid medication.
We encourage the animals to do behaviors they would naturally do in the wild. Here Zoo Keeper Alisha is training king vulture Pip to fly from her glove to another keeper's glove. This allows him to stay active and stretch out his wings.
Sea Briganti: How Seaweed Can Help Replace Plastic and Heal Earth
The Earth’s rivers—its vital arteries—are choked with plastic, and now that same pollution is flowing through our own bodies. Through powerful imagery from the Río Motagua and emerging science on microplastics, in this TEDx talk, Sea Briganti connects planetary health to human health in an urgent, intimate way. She then introduces a regenerative materials revolution, showing how seaweed-based innovations and community-driven transitions in Central America are already “turning off the tap” of plastic pollution. Ultimately, Sea offers a bold new vision for a circular, locally rooted manufacturing system designed for abundance, regeneration, and the healing of both people and the planet.
Early morning, a long way away, fun to watch their antics, the one in the middle is saying "Look over here, can you all do this step?"
The Behavioral Operations Management Summer Institute for PhD students at the Ross School of Business of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (BOMSI2019). The lead faculty were Ryan Buell (Harvard Business School), Stephen Leider (Ross School of Business, University of Michigan), and Jordan Tong (Wisconsin School of Business, University of Wisconsin-Madison). From the website, "The inaugural Behavioral Operations Management Summer Institute for PhD students will be held June 10-14, 2019, at the University of Michigan, Ross School of Business in partnership with the Center for Value Chain Innovation. The conference is co-sponsored by the business schools at the University of Michigan, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Support for this event is also being provided by Harvard Business School's Technology and Operations Management Unit. The 1-week intensive summer institute is designed to provide PhD students who are interested in behavioral research a solid foundation to conduct behavioral operations management research. Additionally, we hope that the summer institute will encourage collaboration and the creation of a research community among the next generation of researchers. Each day of the institute will include morning and afternoon sessions. Morning sessions will provide a general overview of BOM, review core behavioral economics/psychology topics, and discuss OM applications. Afternoon sessions will be focused more on small groups, practicums (e.g., applying ideas to actual research activity), and roundtables (more informal discussions). There will also be free time to prepare for the next day, have office hours, pair up to work on ideas, and hang out!" Pictures from the sessions taken over the week.
This male robin was happily searching for worms and bugs when his "territory" was invaded by another male robin. This is the start of behavior that leads to at least a chase and possibly a birdfight.
Notice how he is able to raise the feathers on his head to form almost a jay-like crest ... and he's started puffing out his chest by raising those feathers. He got even more puffed-up, but I couldn't capture that because just then he headed for his rival like a bat-out-of-you-know-where.
In this panel, Colin Camerer, Andrew Caplin, and David Laibson—leading behavioral scholars whose work includes innovations in subdisciplines like behavioral finance and neuroeconomics—will join us to explore how their research has given valuable insight into economic models of human behavior. Discussion will focus on how new insights from behavioral research can be accommodated in more traditional models, and the areas in which behavioral economics can most helpfully challenge orthodox views on economic behavior. The panel should help inform audience members with backgrounds in economics and related fields on how to incorporate behavioral insights into their programs of study and research, and understand more broadly how this increasingly popular field has enriched the field of economics.
