Divorce is a hot topic in midlife – so I’m delighted to be jumping online with the Second Act community this week (Wednesday 25th March, 1pm) for a lunchtime Q&A on all things divorce and separation.  As the co-founder of the award-winning separation service amicable, I hear divorce dilemmas every day – from how to tell the children to how to split the finances. I’ve navigated two divorces myself and I’m a qualified relationship counsellor, along with an outspoken advocate for the campaign to introduce no-fault divorce in the UK in 2020, regularly appearing in the media on all things divorce and separation and hosting my own podcast, The Divorce Podcast, which was recently a finalist in the British Podcast Awards.

My aim with both the book and our work at amicable is to offer clear, invaluable steps to separating …

But while birds like Puck could chat away in words we can understand, others tweet, quack, cheep, and trill to communicate.  Why do some birds talk like humans, and others converse in languages all their own? We turned to Timothy Wright, an associate professor of biology at New Mexico State University whose research focuses on the function and evolution of vocal communication in parrots, to find out.  Defining what we mean by “talk” “Most if not all bird species have vocal communication systems …
