Fish and Chips: Opportunistic Carnivory and Geophagy in Parrots

Sardar Patel Zoological Park

Psittacine birds (Psittaciformes) are typically regarded as frugivorous or granivorous, yet some species exhibit opportunistic feeding behaviours. The aim was to describe opportunistic carnivory and geophagy in parrots housed at Sardar Patel Zoological Park (SPZP), India. The findings highlights a dietary flexibility and exploratory foraging in parrots, emphasising implications for husbandry and understanding psittacine ecology.

This Spotlight examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping the boundaries of language, artistic creation, and human identity. From hidden communicative signals transmitted between AI systems beyond human perception, to the emergence of the first fully AI-generated actor and the ensuing legal battles over authorship and likeness, the collection interrogates what it means to create, perform, and express in an age of machine intelligence.

Dear josha-journal readers, we’ve already announced it, but now the time has come! After more than ten years of josha-journal, we’re proud to present our new website! We’ve been working on the layout, readability, and settings. As usual, you’ll find the latest posts sorted chronologically in the right column. It’s now even easier to search for different topics and volumes in the left column. You will also find keywords and the josha library there.

Journal of Science, Humanities and Arts (JOSHA)

This Spotlight examines how state power increasingly shapes digital security, public health, journalism, scientific publishing, and global economic strategy. The contributions reveal a shared tension between state control and institutional independence, showing that security, governance, and knowledge production are now deeply entangled. In doing so, this collection reflects JOSHA’s editorial curation of timely debates at the intersection of politics, science, and public trust.

Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) constitute one of the most prevalent healthcare-associated infections, which contemporarily accounts for over 30% of nosocomial infections globally. Despite proven advances made towards the establishment of effective prevention strategies, the clinical and economic burden of CAUTIs remains significant. This is attributed to inconsistent implementation and compliance to evidence-based practices.
