Photos: Parrot video calls, finals week and co

This week, Northeastern students took their books and laptops outside to get some fresh air while studying for their final exams. Meanwhile, Northeastern researchers Rébecca Kleinberger and Jennifer Cunha released a new study on pet parrots. After teaching parrots to video-call other parrots, they found that these feathered birds are likely to learn new skills (think: foraging and flying) and form lasting friendships through their screens. These Huskies weren't the only ones spending time with animals: Northeastern co-op student Isabella Welch spent part of her week at the New England Aquarium in Boston, where she helped care for and train sea lions and harbor seals.
