Adele chats with expert Dr Ellen Mather about ancient aves from Australia, and her work on extinct eagles and vultures from the Pleistocene period!
We also touch on the pecking order of scavenging birds, crawling through caves to collect fossils, the hunting tactics of avian apex predators and how straighter wing bones let an animal soar above the competition.
