15. Genyornis with Phoebe McInerney

Adele’s joined by special guest from Flinders Palaeo Lab Phoebe McInerney to talk about magnificent mihirungs and the giant flightless bird Genyornis! We chat about pivoting to paleontology after physiotherapy and dance, falling in love with birds and fieldwork at Lake Callabonna.  We get the gossip on killer cassowary kicks, stomach stones and why Genyornis is the original horrible goose and earned the nickname demon duck of doom!

Plus a plug for the Death By Birding podcast live show and why dinosaurs  get respiratory infections like their avian cousins.
