An interview with Marc Bekoff, Professor Emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, probably a BBC production, was broadcast today on News Radio. In it he was asked about animal emotions and, as part of his answer, he described a magpie funeral ritual he observed. I have found a similar story on Youtube - link attached.
