Australian Researchers Fitted Five Magpies With GPS Trackers To Map Their Movements, But The Birds Began Removing One Another’s Harnesses Within Minutes, Turning A Failed Trial Into An Unexpected Observation Of Cooperation
(When researchers tried to track Australian magpies, the birds turned the tables—systematically removing each other's harnesses and revealing something far more interesting than GPS coordinates.)

[the Aussie magpies need SWAG on their GPS harness!]
“Researchers in Queensland fitted five Australian magpies with tiny GPS trackers, hoping to map their movements and social relationships. The [mischief] had other plans.
Within about ten minutes, an untagged adult female was using her bill to work at the harness on a juvenile. The tracker came off. Nearby, another magpie was helping a second tagged bird on a powerline. Devices that had been designed to stay attached for weeks disappeared within minutes to days.
[The author] like[s] this story partly because it resists the tidy distinction between a successful experiment and a failed one. The researchers lost the movement data they went looking for, but the birds produced an observation nobody had planned…”
--
“Recent advances in tracking technology have enabled devices such as Global Positioning Systems (GPS) loggers to be used on a wide variety of birds. Although there are established ethical considerations to these processes, different species may react differently to particular devices and attachments. Thus, pilot studies are still of utmost importance in this field. Here, [the authors] describe one such study trialling a novel harness design for GPS tracking devices on Australian Magpies Gymnorhina tibicen. Despite previous testing demonstrating the strength and durability of the harness, devices were removed within minutes to hours of initial fitting. Notably, removal was observed to involve one bird snapping another bird’s harness at the only weak point, such that the tracker was released. This behaviour demonstrates both cooperation and a moderate level of problem solving, providing potential further evidence of the cognitive abilities of this species. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the conspecific removal of GPS trackers, and should be considered when planning future tracking studies especially on highly social species…”

Young volunteer attempts to keep stranded humpback whale alive on Queensland beach – video
By Guardian StaffChantelle Smith was with her daughter on Sunday morning on K'gari when they came across a stranded juvenile humpback whale. After she recorded this footage, a number of other local volunteers arrived to keep the animal wet. The juvenile mammal became trapped on a sandbank at the southern entrance of Wathumba Creek, sparking an immediate rescue effort from local beachgoers and wildlife authorities. A spokesperson for the Department of Environment confirmed that the whale managed to free itself and return to the ocean

Sheep-herding robot dogs put to the test at the Ekka Royal Queensland show — video
By Guardian StaffThe University of the Sunshine Coast student project is trialling the use of robotic dogs to herd sheep, with public demonstrations of the units at the Brisbane Showgrounds. Dr David Alonso-Caneiro, a senior lecturer in mechatronics, says the long-term view is to establish the feasibility of one day using similar machines as fully autonomous tools on farms

OK this is probs an extremely long shot but does anyone know of a good psychiatrist in Qlds? or even NSW at this stage. I am really really hoping to find someone that can actually diagnose and help with my bipolar more so
