Ornithologist Wears a Giant Bird Head To Earn the Trust of Wild Birds, but Fails Miserably

For example, an unnamed ornithologistan expert on the behavior of birdsfound a unique way to study his subjects.

While the disguise may look like an offbeat idea, there was some academic reasoning behind it.

Certain bird species, like the great tits he was observing, are capable of remembering human faces.

For someone studying the language of birds, this was far from ideal.

Hoping that they may have absolved him, he tried again without the disguise but got the same result.

It looks like the mysterious ornithologist got confirmation that birds don’t forgive and don’t forget.

The reason?

Sadly, his experiment didn’t work.
