Can Starlings "recurse"
There's a paper out in Nature claiming experiments that demonstrate European starlings show evidence of a recursive language module a la Chomsky, and this has prompted several critical evaluations. The best one I have found is at http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/003076.html, which has a link to the paper. As a bonus it has some intro to cognitive linguistic theory.
