Description
Traveling from field sites to research laboratories around the world, this illuminating exploration reveals the remarkable intelligence of birds. Drawing on cutting-edge studies, it examines their technical ingenuity, problem-solving skills, musical and artistic abilities, spatial awareness, communication, and complex social lives. With lyrical prose and a journalist’s eye for discovery, the book challenges human-centered ideas about intelligence while celebrating birds as cunning, playful, inventive, and deeply adaptable creatures. It is both an accessible survey of avian cognition and a vivid reflection on the mysteries of the brain and the many forms genius can take.
