Researchers studying 15,000 birds in the Amazon rainforest found that nearly all of the birds' bodies have become lighter since the 1980s, losing on average about 2% of their body weight every decade.

Researchers say more than 600 million birds have disappeared across Europe in just the past 40 years. Here’s why.

A golden, thick-billed bird thought to have died more than 1.5 years ago was seen alive on the slopes of a Maui volcano.

Seeing our world through the eyes of a migratory bird would be a rather spooky experience. Something about their visual system allows them to 'see' our planet's magnetic field.

Over a decade ago, behavioral ecologist Diane Colombelli-Négrel was wiring superb fairy wrens’ nests to record the birds’ sounds when she noticed something odd. Mother fairy wrens sang while incubating their eggs, even though it would have made more sense to keep quiet to avoid attracting predators.

Scientists say that the recordings are evidence that musk ducks are like parrots in that they are vocal language learners.
