We might as well call this video series "Dissecting with Emily," because we're again featuring work by Ohio University Honors Tutorial College student Emily Caggiano. Lately Emily has been dissecting this African grey parrot (OUVC 10840), and today we wanted to share with you some of the crazy extreme cranial kinesis that parrots have, as well as the two specialized jaw muscles that parrots uniquely evolved. This dissection fits in as part of the NSF-funded collaborative research we have with Casey Holliday, Kevin Middleton, and Jul Davis. In fact, we even poked at the other side of this parrot's head last week when we assembled the grant team. Check out the whole Dissecting with Emily series with this playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp0K9wSdRtLIat051zcg3i_nhokGCA6Pr.
