Did you know birds blush? Just like humans, going red in the face can warn of danger, while going pink can signal attraction – and there are plenty more subtleties when birds change their colour to convey meanings. Everyone will learning something new from our fascinating science article this week. On other pages, we are proud to share the memories of the recently deceased Geoff Capes by a few in the fancy who knew him.
