What intelligence allows a bird to find its way to a place thousands of kilometers away, where it has never been before?
Or accurately mimic the songs of hundreds of other species? Or remember exactly where it hid its seeds, months earlier? In Bevingad intelligens Jennifer Ackerman takes the reader on a grand journey through the bird mind. She visits researchers and birds in the New Caledonian jungle as well as in her own garden, and tells about the very latest findings about crows, pigeons, sparrows and many more. Old truths are put to rest, and one thing becomes clear: The birds are much smarter than we have long believed.
