010 Dr. Rob Davis and the fight for the Palau Megapode

This episode of The Bird Emergency introduces you to Dr. Rob Davis, who is based at the Edith Cowan University in Perth, which sits on the Indian Ocean.  However, Rob has a passionate interest in the birds of the small islands of the Pacific Ocean, many clinging to existence. He tells us about the Palau Megapode, one of the unusual mound-making birds, who incubate their eggs in piles of leaf litter, scraped into sizeable heaps, and carefully tended by the parents.

Currently trying to get some eyes and subscribers on The Bird Emergency on YouTube, so I can put a bit more effort into the video side of things, so if you would like more visual content, please subscribe, and I will watch with interest if that's what you want!
