From RRP's FB page:

Raptor Resource Project shared Neil Rettig Productions's post.
January 30 at 7:51am

A little share from Neil and Laura. Some of you might remember seeing Cal at After The Fledge in 2016!

Neil Rettig Productions added 2 new photos.
January 29 at 3:39pm

Cal and Dr. Laura share their contribution to avian medicine; the manuscript is published today in the current issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. We are so happy our magnificent bird is healthier than ever, and we hope this paper documenting his illness and recovery gives help to other birds and veterinarians in the future.

Here is the perfect spot for a birds' inner compass

Researchers have discovered that the long sought after protein in migratory birds are situated exactly here at the outer segment of the so-called double cone photoreceptor cells in the retina of the bird (this is a European robin). Cry4 is unique to birds and therefore could endow them with the sixth sense.
