Chicken Whisperers: Humans Crack the Clucking Code - Technology Org

A University of Queensland-led study has found humans can tell if chickens are excited or displeased, just by the sound of their clucks.

Professor Joerg Henning from UQ’s School of Veterinary Science said researchers investigated whether humans could correctly identify the context of calls or clucking sounds made by domestic chickens, the most commonly farmed species in the world.

“In this study, we used recordings of chickens vocalising in all different scenarios from a previous experiment,” Professor Henning said.

“Two calls were produced in anticipation of a reward, which we called the ‘food’ call and the ‘fast cluck’.

“Two other call types were produced in non-reward contexts, such as food being withheld, which we called the ‘whine’ and ‘gakel’ calls.”

The researchers played the audio files back to test whether humans could tell in which context the chicken sounds were made, and whether various demographics and levels of experience with chickens affected their correct identification.

“We found 69 per cent of all participants could correctly tell if a chicken sounded excited or displeased,” Professor Henning said.

“This is a remarkable result and further strengthens evidence that humans have the ability to perceive the emotional context of vocalisations made by different species.”

Professor Henning said the ability to detect emotional information from vocalisation could improve the welfare of farmed chickens.

“A substantial proportion of participants being able to successfully recognise calls produced in reward-related contexts is significant,” he said.

“It provides confidence that people involved in chicken husbandry can identify the emotional state of the birds they look after, even if they don’t have prior experience.

“Our hope is that in future research, specific acoustic cues that predict how humans rate arousal in chicken calls could be identified, and these results could potentially be used in artificially intelligent based detection systems to monitor vocalisations in chickens.

“This would allow for the development of automated assessments of compromised or good welfare states within poultry management systems.

“Ultimately this could enhance the management of farmed chickens to improve their welfare, while helping conscientious consumers to make more informed purchasing decisions.”

This research is published in Royal Society Open Science.

hey Hey i'm shouting out this new Bugsnax Wiki (The Bugapedia) by @betterdonutgalaxy, separate from the Fandom/Wikia wiki! Go check it out n help contribute some stuff if ur able to!!

I need to change my icon I killed pep she's dead

Also I need to write down. Some vocab so I remember my bus thoughts

Guilds - guilds are social clubs outside of clans that people who have similar interests can join. So Damon can be from clan spearhead and make a guild and dragons from the neighbouring clans can join for peaceful fun.

Although some guilds are social, others are made to enforce peace over a dedicated region.

Cooking guilds often have food drives to benefit their flight, this is an in game reason for the food bank threads! Dominance guilds seek to work together to train their kin

Hunting guilds are also common around flights, often consisting of do gooder dragons who work on capturing and holding dragons who are causing trouble (murder, thievery, that good stuff)

The hunting guilds headquarters is in the ice territory because. Like. where else would it be lol

So, what d’ya think of Once Upon a Studio? Also the moment where Mickey was looking at a picture of Walt Disney what if Oswald was there too, two brothers looking at a picture of the man that not only created them but also founded the company that has been going strongly for 100 years.

That would be nice! Of course that talking about Walt and the company is a whole other thing, but you can't say he wasn't that creative

And about thoughts- I WAS WAY TOO EXCITED WHEN I SAW THE WHOLE GANG THERE AND ANIMATED EVEN LIKE AAAA–

Not only them, many others of my favorite movies, I'll confess it did got me emotional

I'm glad that we got to see so many of them again and am I ambitious to say that I already want more? PLEASE that 2d animation all the way, I really loved it

I lost one of my chickens :( she was caught and carried away by a fox... I’ve been growing complacent about my chickens’ safety I think because we’ve only had one other attack before, a goshawk that swooped in abruptly (unsuccessfully), but no fox sightings nearby so I’ve been assuming Pandolf was a great deterrent. Which he is, just not foolproof. I’ve talked to some people in town about this and they were pretty philosophical about foxes stealing chickens, like “it’s the tribute we pay to woodland animals, it’s just a few hens here and there.” I don’t begrudge the fox for being a fox, if anything I have a renewed respect for foxes because everyone I talked to proceeded to give me their best / worst fox stories, and most of them involved foxes outsmarting humans (learning people’s habits / timetables, opening latches, faking a limp...) Still I feel terrible for my hen, she was only three. RIP Cordy :( You’ll be remembered fondly... (except by the cats.) I feel bad for the other hen too, who just lost her pal!

When I said that last thing, one of my neighbours jumped on the opportunity to try and convince me again to accept a rooster from him. He had a rooster baby boom last summer and I’ve been telling him for months that I don’t need a rooster, I don’t want to raise chickens I just want eggs, and his new argument was that a rooster would protect my hen (or if it comes to that, would heroically sacrifice himself rather than let the hen be eaten—I’m sceptical...) I asked around for a young hen but there aren’t any to be had in this season, so my remaining one is going to be alone until the spring, and my neighbour said she’d get stressed and male company is better than no company. (I wish I could ask my hen what she wants! Maybe she’s penning A Coop Of One’s Own as we speak.) I said the rooster was more likely to stress her out and harass her and he said nah they’re free ranging all day, it’ll be fine, and he’s young so your adult hen will boss him around. I was like, but then will he be any good at protecting her? etc. etc. and after a while I caved in.

When I told her about this on the phone my mum sighed “you’re terrible at saying no”—excuse me, I said no so many times and the guy just kept ploughing on until he could foist a rooster upon me. I’m good at saying no, other people are terrible at hearing it! I reassured her that I had only agreed to take the rooster for a short probationary period, and if he bothers my hen too much I’ll drive him back to his native farm. My mum was like “Drive him back? look I’m sorry I raised you as a city kid but there’s no need to waste gas on driving a rooster around, I’ll have no qualms about wringing his neck for dinner if he’s more trouble than he’s worth.” The rooster’s fate is not sealed though, if he is anywhere from vaguely useful to not actively problematic I’ll keep him, so we’ll see...!

falloutboy: look at all those chickens

So a song about an afterparty to the tune of a chicken clucking Jere your mind I'm always in awe

minute 4 of the game

the poultry deficient will never know what it's like to have your pet chicken follow you into the bathroom while you take a shower... sad.

Hey all! I’ve been finding more and more “sfw agere” blogs that I was following posting blatantly nsfw and honestly creepy stuff. If I ever interact with a nsfw blog by mistake, please tell me! I promise that I’m 100% SFW and I want to keep our space that way. I’m really sorry to anybody else who has been experiencing this too. I’m putting my banner on this too because it’s extremely important.
