Not only can Australia’s male palm cockatoos keep a beat, they craft their own unique drumsticks and pass the skills down to their sons. New research from the Australian National University, led by Prof Rob Heinsohn, shows these colourful birds make their own unique musical instruments from branches and hard seed pods. According to Heinsohn, a male palm cockatoo “ostentatiously breaks off the branch” in front of a female as a display of strength, before whittling it down to their preferred specifications. “Some leave them long and skinny … others make them short and fat,” said Heinsohn. Once the display is over, the male simply discards his handiwork. The palm cockatoo, found on the Cape York peninsula in Far North Queensland, has been known for its drumming since it was first observed in the 1980s. Each male palm cockatoo has its own distinct rhythm, which forms part of their mating ritual. Heinsohn, who has been involved in palm cockatoo research for years, said that he “can tell who is drumming by the sound of the beat”. Researchers first noticed that each palm cockatoo’s “drumstick” design was unique after collecting hundreds of discarded tools from males visiting their display tree. “There’s no other bird that makes a tool to use in a display like this,” Heinsohn said. Researchers were surprised that there were no similarities between the tools of nearby cockatoos, with each male having his own preferences. Instead, designs are “passed down from father to son”, Heinsohn said. “Sons hang around for a couple of years,” he said, during which time they closely observe their father’s craftsmanship. Even with careful study, “it takes at least 10 years to learn and to be good enough to do this”. In 2021, the palm cockatoo was elevated to endangered status in Queensland. Heinson said, on average, female birds lay one egg every two years and that egg is often taken by predators. The complexity of their mating rituals has also contributed to the low birthrate. In addition to drumming, palm cockatoos use head-bobbing and up to 30 different calls to attract a mate. Though specific tool designs and rhythms are not necessarily more effective, females can be very selective and only “go for males” that are proficient in all mating skills. Looking to the future of palm cockatoo research, Heinsohn wants to investigate whether males tailor their drumstick to produce a specific sound from their nest hollow. These findings were published in a paper, Individual Preferences for Sound Tool Design in a Parrot, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society London. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/sep/15/australian-bird-of-the-year-guardian-birdlife-palm-cockatoo

Just like I've said in your Journalist request, you just started your activity and I'm gonna be honest getting the rank with just 4 posts or 5 isn't good... Still, you were a member and I'd tell you welcome back on Sunday. As i said in your Journalist request, i suggest that the request remains opened till Sunday, if you did good in the next 2 days, Welcome! Let's see our team's opinions.

Hello blackfire, i hope you're having a great day. In regards of your request i would like to suggest to postpone it for 10 / 8 days. As you see, you're currently not in any project which is kinda bad, i've seen your activity you posted today, and before that you posted on April 6th... I suggest you to aim getting in some projects first, u could be active at both journalist and vgr project for the next 2/3 days, request for both ranks first, get accepted and i'm sure you're gonna get accepted, then this request would have a higher chance to get accepted. Regards man. Wishing you good luck !

hey man, please creck the rules you are breaking the rules here on the forum pliz

The failure of two dams sent a torrent of water through Derna, washing entire streets into the sea The first sign that something was wrong was the sound of the dogs barking. It was 2.30am and dark outside. When Husam Abdelgawi, a 31-year-old accountant in the eastern Libyan city of Derna, got up and went sleepily downstairs to check on them, he felt water under his feet. Husam opened the front door of the house he shared with his younger brother, Ibrahim. More water flooded in, pulling the door off of its hinges. The brothers ran to the back door, where they were met by a "ghastly, unimaginable scene, worse than death itself to witness", Husam said, in a phone interview from the city of Al-Qubbah. "The bodies of women and children were floating past us. Cars and entire houses were caught up in the current. Some of the bodies were swept by the water into our house." The water swept Husam and Ibrahim up too, carrying them farther and faster than they imagined possible. Within seconds, they were 150m apart. Ibrahim, 28, managed to grab on to floating power cables still tethered to their poles and grapple himself back towards where Husam was stuck. The brothers used the cables like ropes to pull themselves towards a nearby building and through a third-floor window, and from there they made it to a fifth-floor rooftop where they could wait out the flood. "The area where we were was a higher part of the city," Husam said. "In the lower parts, I don't think anyone on the fifth or sixth floors has survived. I think they are all dead. May God have mercy on their souls." People look at missing notices in the aftermath of the floods in Derna Estimates of the number of dead vary. Libya's ambassador to the UN says about 6,000 people are confirmed to have died with thousands more missing. A Red Crescent official in Libya said about 10,000 people were believed killed. Derna's mayor has warned that 20,000 people may have lost their lives. The flood was triggered by the failure of two dams outside Derna, unleashing a torrent of water through the city's centre. "Derna was divided in two halves by the water and everything in between is gone," said Rahma Ben Khayal, an 18-year-old student who made it to safety on a rooftop in the city. "The people in between are all dead," she said. The torrent that washed away entire streets had begun a day earlier, as light rain. It was not frightening at first, said Amna Al Ameen Absais, a 23-year-old medical student born and raised in Derna, who is guardian to her three younger siblings following the death of both parents from illness. As the raindrops drummed outside, the four siblings sat in their first floor apartment in the Beach Towers, a seven-story building next to the waterfront, playing games and scrolling on their phones. They dressed her younger brother in a life vest and laughed. Amna managed to escape with her three younger siblings But as Sunday night wore on, the rain got heavier. Sirens sounded. The siblings couldn't sleep. "It really began about 2.30am," Amna said, in a phone interview from the nearby city of Tobruk. "The noise was getting much louder. My brother said he could see water covering the street." As the water rose, the neighbours began to migrate upstairs. Amna grabbed the cat and four passports and they went up from their first floor apartment to a third floor apartment. "People were looking outside into the dark, praying," she said. Then the water reached the third floor. "Everyone started screaming. We moved up again, to the fifth floor and finally up to the seventh floor." Panic had set in. "I lost the cat," Amna said. "I lost my little brother for a minute but then I found him. I realised we could not even stay on the seventh floor, we had to go to the rooftop." From there, they could see neighbours on the roof of a three-storey building opposite, including a family with whom they were friends. The neighbours were waving their phone torches. Moments later, their entire building collapsed into the water in the dark. "It felt like an earthquake," Amna said. "That family still hasn't been found. Their son is looking for them. We told him that we saw their building collapse in front of our eyes." Some of Amna's own family are missing, too. Her uncle, his wife and their three sons lived in a nearby building that collapsed. "Our last call was about 9pm, he was calling to make sure we were OK," she said. "We haven't heard from him since." Eventually, Amna was able to escape the building with all three siblings, after the floodwaters lowered. Her street had disappeared completely. "It was like the earth had split open," she said. "Only a cavity left where the street used to be." A neighbour she knew slipped and disappeared into the water in front of them, her husband and son unable to save her, Amna said. She heard that her best friend, Aisha, had not made it. Amna and her siblings walked for hours to higher ground, passing bodies on the way. The death toll from the catastrophe looks set to rise significantly. Husam Abdelgawi, the accountant, said he had already counted at least 30 friends among the dead, and more than 200 acquaintances. "It is a miracle that I survived," he said. The damage to Derna itself is catastrophic. Entire neighbourhoods have been destroyed. Mohamed al-Menfi from Libya's internationally-recognised government in the western city of Tripoli said he had asked the country's attorney general to investigate - anyone whose actions or failure to act were responsible for the dams' collapse should be held accountable, he said. The World Meteorological Organization said most loss of life could have been prevented if Libya had a functioning weather agency - "They could have issued warnings. The emergency management authorities would have been able to carry out evacuation of the people. And we could have avoided most of the human casualties," said WMO head Petteri Taalashe. Many survivors are waiting desperately for news of loved ones. Others are mourning, for the dead and for Derna. "I don't think I can ever go back," Amna said. "Those streets were my whole life. We knew every corner of the city. Now it's gone." Riam Dalati contributed to this report. Link
