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.
