Much has been written about how people looking for honey work with birds in sub-Saharan Africa - honey guides fly ahead of hunters and point out beehives which the hunters raid, leaving wax for the birds to eat. But now new findings suggest that this cooperation is a two-way conversation. Claire Spottiswoode from the University of Cambridge and the University of Cape Town, led the study and she spoke to Newsday's Julian Keane.
