I am a conservation biologist and evolutionary ecologist with a focus on birds, especially parrots. Increasingly, I am directing my research at the landscape level as I seek to identify the broad-scale processes shaping conservation problems. However I maintain a strong interest in individual based social behaviour, cognition and tool use. This approach allows me to combine my strong background in behavioural ecology with my more recent passion for conservation biology.
