Anders Brodin's previous book Smartast bland mesar came out just as the pandemic hit in March 2020.
It was an immediate success. Brodin's entertaining stories and his vast knowledge of the Talgox ingenuity, intelligence and diverse personalities fascinated. In his new book Fångad av fåglar, Anders Brodin talks about his passionate interest in birds. He is constantly familiarizing himself with new bird species both in Sweden and in the rest of the world. Today he is a professor with a particular focus on bird memory and cognition. Here he talks about why birds in particular are so captivating, about the specialized brains of certain bird species, their incredible memory when it comes to building up food stores for the winter and their strategies for protecting them. We will also learn how it is that most birds can fly but not all and how our endangered bird species are doing. As in his previous book, his enthusiastic narration leads into all sorts of bird-related anecdotes. Among other things, we learn more about Romanian restaurant menus during the Ceaucescu dictatorship, Japanese emperor names and August Strindberg's difficulties as a bird watcher.
