The Genius of Birds
Jennifer Ackerman’s fascinating tome is an eye opener covering recent research into the intelligence and capabilities of our avian friends that enriched my perspective and made me see what is around me on a daily basis in a different light, which to me is the whole essence of what constitutes a good book. For many decades birds were dismissed as dumb and ‘bird brained’ due to the small size of their skull contents and it was thought that brainpower had been sacrificed during their evolution in the quest for lightness and flight.
