The flehmen behaviour, inhaling air and curling of the upper lip, facilitates the transfer of pheromones and other scents into the vomeronasal organ located above the roof of the mouth via a duct which exits just behind the front teeth of the animal. This activates the vomeronasal organ and enables oestrus detection.
Here the bull is testing the air to determine if his selected cow is ready for him.
In the Rut, male bison (bulls) find a female who is close to Estrus and stay by her side (tend her) until she is ready to mate. The bull will protect her from other bulls if he can until she is ready to mate. He will bellow to discourage other males, and also try to hide her from other bulls by standing between the cow and another bull. After mating, he will then leave her to find another cow. (Bison bison)

Loopy Lass spotted a pair of siskins on our garden feeders and wanted to know what the female was fluttering her wings for. I said it was bonding behaviour and she was encouraging the male to feed her. We both got a bit of video of the two of them this morning. The first bit of footage is Loopy Lass's (she can't hold the camera still when she's filming 😁). They're such pretty little birds, aren't they?

Instinctive behaviour - uses rocks to break open emu eggs, which are too big to crack with its own talons or beak.
All black-breasted buzzards know instinctively how to break open the gigantic size eggs of emus - too big to pick up or break with talons or beak.
They find a stone, pick it up with their beaks, and throw it at the egg until it breaks! This is purely instinctive behavior - it is not taught. Only one other raptor does the same thing - an African raptor who breaks ostrich eggs - even bigger!
Normally it takes between 4 and 6 throws to break the (plaster cast) emu egg.
Beatrice got it in one shot today!
The Black-breasted Buzzard (Hamirostra melanosternon), or Black-breasted Kite, is a large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae and the monotypic genus Hamirostra. Its wing length ranges between 440-500 mm, with females being larger.
t eats rabbits, large lizards, birds and carrion. It will also raid the eggs of ground-nesting birds, breaking large eggs by hurling stones against them with its large beak.
The Black-breasted Buzzard is endemic to Australia (found only there), mainly in the north and in semi-arid and arid central regions. It is rare in eastern, southern coastal or near-coastal mainland.
Habitat
Black-breasted Buzzards are found in lightly timbered plains, open country and tree-lined waterways through inland Australia and in semi-arid or arid regions.
Note : The emu "eggs" are realistic plaster casts - no real emu egg was harmed in this show
Portrait of Captain Alexander Maconochie RN KH by EV Rippingille, 1836
Maconochie became commandant of the Norfolk Island penal settlement in March 1840 and left in February 1844. During this time he introduced a mark system of rewards to encourage convicts to become industrious and responsible through moral and practical lessons, transportation sentences were converted into indefinite sentences and convicts became personally responsible for the length of their sentence. Marks were earned for hard work and good behaviour, or deducted for bad behaviour. The environment of the convict improved in stages as he learned the moral lessons of the system and his behaviour improved. Convicts could progress through classes: separate imprisonment (first class); social labour through the day and separate confinement at night (second class) and ‘social treatment’ both day and night (third class). In third class, groups of six convicts were set up to work and ‘mess’ together to teach social responsibility and mutual dependence. Each convict was responsible for the marks of the others as well as his own: if one convict lost marks, all convicts in the group lost marks; and if one convict won marks, all convicts in the group won marks. They were also given blue jackets and other clothing not permitted to the other classes, to further ‘raise their spirits, revive their self-respect and confirm their good purposes’.
Under Maconochie, the penal station operated as a civilised community despite being populated by some of the most serious criminals and devoid of free settlers. He walked and talked amongst the convict population to show confidence in them and exhort them to industriousness and good conduct. Every convict was given a plot of soil to give a sense of property rights. Vegetable and fruit gardening classes were set up to encourage cultivation and trustworthy convicts were permitted to establish small settlements with gardens in the bush. The first chapels were built on the island during Maconochie’s rule. Harsh punishments were abolished and the loss of marks was the main form of punishment (except for violent crimes) and convicts were entrusted with certain freedoms. Maconochie instituted a policy on commemoration to allow convicts to be given proper headstones, giving dignity to the dead. Surprisingly this included those killed in the 1842 Mutiny.

Maconochie’s penal experiment was successful with a low recidivism rate and a productive and orderly convict population. It has been surmised that Maconochie was able to empathise with prisoners because he had, from 1810 to 1814 been a prisoner of war of the French. Unfortunately his efforts at reform were rebuffed by many persons, including guards on the island and although the then Governor Sir George Gipps visited in 1843 and gave Maconochie good reviews orders had already been issued by English officials for him to be replaced. His replacement was Major Joseph Childs, a fifty-six year old marine officer. He was Maconochie's opposite in every way - a dull vacillating military hack, distinguished only by his severity. His ill-advised seizure of the prisoner's cooking utensils led to the "Cooking Pot Mutiny" on July 1st 1846. Lasting barely half an hour it resulted nevertheless in twelve prisoners being executed.

Unfortunately anti-social behaviour is a major and increasing problem in Henrietta Place and On Hebrietta Street itself so if you plan to visit try to do so during normal working hours.
Henrietta Street is a historic Dublin street, to the north of Bolton Street on the north side of the city, first laid out and developed by Luke Gardiner during the 1720s. A very wide street relative to streets in other 18th-century cities, it includes a number of very large red-brick city palaces of Georgian design. The street is generally held to be named after Henrietta, the wife of Charles FitzRoy, 2nd Duke of Grafton, although an alternative candidate is Henrietta, the wife of Charles Paulet, 2nd Duke of Bolton. The nearby Bolton Street is named after Paulet.
Henrietta Street is the earliest Georgian Street in Dublin. Construction on the street started in the mid 1720's, on land bought by the Gardiner family in 1721. Construction was still taking place in the 1750s. Gardiner had a mansion, designed by Richard Cassels, built for his own use around 1730.
The street was popularly referred to as Primate's Hill, as one of the houses was owned by the Archbishop of Armagh, although this house, along with two others, was demolished to make way for the Law Library of King's Inns.
The street fell into disrepair during the 19th and 20th centuries, with the houses being used as tenements, but has been the subject of restoration efforts in recent years.
There are currently 13 houses on the street and some appear to be in very poor condition.
The street is a cul-de-sac, with the Law Library of King's Inns facing onto its western end.

What do game theory, foot binding and female genital cutting have to teach us about behaviour change, social norms and cultural sensitivity? Join social entrepreneur Molly Melching and social scientist Cristina Biccheiri for a fascinating conversation around the surprising parallels. Gain actionable insights necessary for success in the complex equation of behaviour change.
I think this is the male of a pair of bluetits which are wanting to nest in one of my boxes. I've been watching the other bird via a spycam in the box and it has been busy for weeks chipping away panels on the inside of one box. Its the female which does all the hard work I suppose as a way of making her mark. This male obviously isn't so sure of her interior design skills and keeps going to the entrances of two other nearby boxes and I managed to get this video of his strange behaviour.
