Part I of a Parrots International video of wild parrots in their natural habitats. This video contains images in the wild of Peru of parrots foraging, fighting, and eating on Clay licks in Timpia, Peru. Rainforest parrots depend on clay for minerals and to bind and remove toxin from the rainforest fruits and nuts. All proceeds from Parrots International videos benefit parrot conservation and field research.

Crittercam® plunges with penguins into the icy Antarctic Ocean where an astonishing discovery is made about penguin feeding techniques. Scientists believed that penguins foraged the ocean floor for food, but an emperor penguin outfitted with Crittercam® proves these clever birds actually dive deep into the ocean to gain a vantage point on fish swimming near the surface. The feature film March of the Penguins used Crittercam's® spectacular underwater footage to take viewers below the ice. Now Wild Chronicles reveals more of Crittercam's® breathtaking images of life from a penguin's point-of-view.

WONG:An interesting study to tell you about. An Australian scientist is doping up honeybees with cocaine to study how their brain reacts to the drug, and possibly find a way to stop addiction in humans. STORY:The research found similarities between honeybees and humans both are driven by rewards and both have their judgment altered by cocaine. Report co-author Andrew Barron says its the first time it's been shown that cocaine has been rewarding to an insect. Barren applied tiny doses of cocaine to the backs of bees before sending them out to hunt for food. Normally when bees return from collecting pollen they perform a dance to communicate where the food was found and how good it tasted. The cocaine-induced honeybees "waggle danced" much more enthusiastically than other bees. They also seemed to experience the same addictive pleasures as humans. [Andrew Barron, Report Co-author]:"What we saw as I was video recording the dances was that when bees were treated with cocaine, when they came back from their foraging trip they were far more likely to dance, and they danced far more vigorously so it was really as if cocaine changed their estimation of how successful they had been in their foraging trip." Barron hopes to identify the neural pathways that cocaine targets in bees to find out more about the mechanisms involved in human addiction. He also wants to find out whether the drug has as devastating an effect on bee society as it does on humans. [Andrew Barron, Report Co-author]:"If we could do that, we could possibly develop new treatments to prevent or treat addiction."Barron also stresses that he does not endorse the use of cocaine in humans.
