The Genius of Birds by Jennifer Ackerman

A fascinating but also disturbing book about wild birds that illuminates their types of intelligence, but also reveals their increasing vulnerability to extinction as a result of climate change, habitat loss, and the poisoning of the environment. I have always loved birds, but now I have an even greater appreciation of their adaptive skills developed to exist all over the world in diverse terrains, changing climate conditions and human-impacted habitats. 2018 is The Year Of The Bird. I recommend reading this book, and other books about birds. They are incredible wild creatures, and our World will be sadly diminished by their loss.
