Naomi SaphraThe most fun I ever had on the birdsite was making a recommendation thread. So I'll try it here!
Recommend me something, anything! I will reply with a recommendation back.
Grzegorz Chrupała@nsaphra One of the best dinosaur books out there. Reconstructions of what they and related creatures looked like based on exceptionally preserved fossils.

@gchrupala wow you really know my taste. I recommend Cuckoo: Cheating by Nature. It is about the evolution of brood parasites. They are engaged in an arms race with their hosts, who develop increasingly distinct eggs to detect parasites. Best fact: European cuckoos specialize in particular species, and they make sure their mate has the same host by imprinting on their host's mating call. So cuckoos imitate their adoptive parents! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22529402-cuckoo
The Data Therapist@nsaphra @gchrupala I guess I should recommend Dinosaur Train (at least the opening song) to both of you !
@datatherapist @gchrupala Do you know the They Might Be Giants song I Am a Paleontologist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7zo2zY1Zqg
