This bird owes its scientific name (<em>Indicator indicator</em>) to an odd relationship it has developed with various communities across sub-Saharan Africa. Certain ethnic groups, such as the Hadza people, have developed a special call for these birds. The honeyguides, in turn, have a special call for humans: they use it to alert them when they&rsquo;ve located wild honeycombs. Subsequently, the Hadza smoke the beehives and collect the honey. And, afterwards, the birds feast on the wax, the larvae, and the remains of the honeycomb.

He’s a musician, about that there is no doubt. He has been ever since his father bought him a violin in Ballarat, the small Australian city in which Ellis was born 60 years ago. He is of the breed of musicians who are uninterested in taking that step forward into stardom. But rock fans have known of his work since the early 1990s, when he founded Dirty Three, an intense instrumental Melbourne rock trio of intermittent periods of activity. In 2024, they released <i>Love Changes Everything</i>, their first studio album in 12 years. It should be noted that in Australia’s second most-populous city, a unique sound has been created that has its roots in punk. It is loud, ramshackle, cacophonous, dark and fascinating, as allergic to convention as the Devil himself. Should a chorus appear, its proponents would run in the opposite direction.
