Review: A well-written, informative book. - Ever wonder how, with their relatively tiny brains, birds can learn, communicate and function at a much higher level than one would predict. Turns out, their brains are organized differently - and clearly much more efficiently. From this book, you'll learn about the amazing ways birds avoid nest parasitism (e.g., a cuckoo dumping its own egg into a nest, and when its offspring hatches, it pushes the rightful occupants out of the next to die). Some birds teach their unhatched "children" a code song, learned while still in the egg, without which they won't be fed. Others memorize the speckled pattern of their own eggs and will discard any with unrecognized patterns. Still others keep careful count of how many eggs were laid and will abandon the nest if an "extra" appears. Perceptual and learning abilities rival and often surpass those of primates whose brains weigh more than the whole bird. African grey parrots have the cognitive and emotional facilities of preschoolers. A worthy and fascinating read.
Review: Very educational and marvelously entertaining - Almost all of my reading is fiction, but I am so glad I added this title to my monthly list. The author presents an astonishingly extensive array of fascinating facts about bird biology and behavior. These are carefully organized into chapters with a logical sequence but are presented in a conversational manner that retains the reader's interest. There is even a great index of topics and bird species at the end to make it easy to locate some story you want to share with a friend. Recommended with 5 happy stars 🌟.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A well-written, informative book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ well done, but…
*by C***D on November 6, 2025*

Long, detailed, no photos, but well documented and interesting and I did learn a lot I didn’t know. Stick with it and you’ll learn a lot and enjoy. Just wish it had been shorter and included some photos.
