L'enginy dels ocells

Birds are animals with fascinating intelligence. Groundbreaking new research studies show that some species display amazing forms of intelligence, comparable to primates and even humans. As he travels around the world, Ackerman not only tells the story of the newfound intelligence of birds, but also delves into the latest findings about the avian brain, findings that are changing our understanding of what it means to be intelligent. He highlights the impressive social ability of these animals. They deceive and manipulate, eavesdrop, give gifts, kiss for comfort, blackmail mates, alert each other to danger, summon witnesses to witness the death of another bird, and even mourn. This elegant research and logbook weaves personal anecdotes with surprising scientific data.
