Celiwe Ngcamphalala

Celiwe Ngcamphalala is a PhD Candidate at the University of Pretoria, and relatively new to the ornithological community! Her interest in birds began in 2013, during her Honours year when Professor Adrian Craig at Rhodes University taught Avian Biology. She became fascinated by bird behaviour and their ‘personalities’. Two years later, she was pursuing a Masters degree, conducting research on the foraging behaviour of white-bellied sunbirds – and she was hooked. For her PhD, she is investigating avian stress responses to activities associated with research, and that is what her talk will be about.
