His research focuses on understanding how learned behaviours originate, are maintained and transmitted in animals. Using birds as a study model, he works on behavioural innovation, learning and cultural transmission. Much of his fieldwork is carried out at the Bellairs Research Institute at McGill University in Barbados (Central America) and on feral pigeons in Montreal.
