THE GENIUS OF BIRDS - JENNIFER ACKERMAN KARTONI...

'What kind of intelligence allows a bird to anticipate the arrival of a distant storm? Or find
its way to a place it has never been before  though it may be thousands of miles away? Or
precisely imitate the complex songs of hundreds of other species? Or hide tens of thousands of
seeds over hundreds of square miles and remember where it put them six months later?  Maybe
genius is a better word.'   Incredibly informative and beautifully written  Jennifer Ackerman's
The Genius of Birds richly celebrates the triumphs of these surprising and fiercely intelligent
creatures.   'Gloriously provocative and fascinating. The Genius of Birds is at once a book of
knowledge but also a work of wonder and an affirmation of the astonishing complexity of our
world' Mark Cocker  author of Birds Britannica   in the Wall Street Journal   ' The Genius of
Birds isn't just for experts and enthusiasts on our feathered friends. There are plenty of
surprising and curious facts to keep the casual reader pecking at it' The Times
