Honeyguides guide honey hunters with brrr hm call in Mozambique
In Mozambique's woodlands wild honeyguides and the Yao people cooperate using a brrr hm call to locate hidden bees nests. A Science study found the sound leads honeyguides to nests three times more often than controls and yields honey about 54 percent of attempts. The relationship blends evolutionary adaptation and culture, though honeyguides also lay eggs in other birds' nests as parasites.
