La voie des oiseaux

"It is obvious that birds are thinking creatures, even if they think about different things and in different ways than us humans," says Jennifer Ackerman, author of the international best-selling book "The Genius of Birds".  She writes fervently about the incredibly diverse behaviour of birds, revealing impressive intelligence and a fascinating ability to build structured societies where each individual demonstrates cooperation, altruism and ingenuity, as well as manipulation and malice.

 You will discover that certain birds can speak several languages to obtain help from other species, that crows are among the most playful types of animals, and that in order to seduce females, spotted bowerbirds build tunnels of up to a meter high, decorated with flowers and berries.

 Once you close this book, you will never see birds in the same way.
