White-tailed eagles — one of the largest birds of prey with a 2.5-metre wingspan — have been spotted for the first time in 240 years soaring above the North York Moors. The incredible creatures, also known as Sea Eagles, went extinct in England in the early 20th century due to illegal killing. But thanks to a pioneering project by Forestry England and the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation, there is new hope for the majestic birds.

The tiny skull of what is thought to be the smallest known dinosaur that lived during the age of the dinosaurs has been discovered in 99-million-year-old amber from Myanmar.

Thanks to captive breeding efforts in Pittsburgh, the rails have returned to the forests of the Pacific.

By watching videos of each other eating, blue tits and great tits can learn to avoid foods that taste disgusting and are potentially toxic, a new study has found. Seeing the 'disgust response' in others helps them recognise distasteful prey by their conspicuous markings without having to taste them, and this can potentially increase both the birds' and their prey's survival rate.

DURHAM, N.C. -- Few singers reach their sunset years with the same voice they had in younger days. Singing sparrows are no different.

In centuries past, large flocks of noisy, brightly colored parrots squawked their way across the United States—from New England, to Florida, to eastern Colorado. The Carolina parakeet, or Conuropsis carolinensis, was the only parrot native to the eastern part of the country. But by the beginning of the 20th century, it had disappeared.

Crows have long been considered cunning. But their intelligence may be far more advanced than we ever thought possible.

Hundreds of birds found dead on a north Wales road are to be tested to discover how they died. About 225 starlings were discovered with blood on their bodies in a lane on Anglesey, North Wales Police said. Dafydd Edwards, whose partner found the birds, said it was as if "they had dropped down dead from the sky".

Today, the New York City Council passed one of the country’s most comprehensive bird-safe glass laws yet.

With Thanksgiving and the holiday season upon us, it’s the perfect time to talk about self-control. One measure of self-control is the ability to delay gratification; namely, the ability to wait in order to obtain a more valuable outcome in the future over a less valuable immediate one.

Dozens of rainbow lorikeets have been flying into large glass windows at a Queensland university — some dying on impact — but a unique style of curtain has come to the rescue.

Two-thirds of North American birds are at increasing risk of extinction from global temperature rise.

The male white bellbird sings so loud in the face of potential mates -- louder than a chain saw three feet away -- that it may damage their hearing.
