From the publisher:

Birds are astonishingly intelligent creatures. According to revolutionary new research, some birds rival primates and even humans in their remarkable forms of intelligence. In The Genius of Birds, acclaimed author Jennifer Ackerman explores their newly discovered brilliance and how it came about.

As she travels around the world to the most cutting-edge frontiers of research, Ackerman not only tells the story of the recently uncovered genius of birds but also delves deeply into the latest findings about the bird brain itself that are shifting our view of what it means to be intelligent. At once personal yet scientific, richly informative and beautifully written, The Genius of Birds celebrates the triumphs of these surprising and fiercely intelligent creatures.

Flock Club is the regular social event where bird enthusiasts of all walks of life gather to share our passion for birds in a casual and accessible environment. With each gathering featuring a new location, theme, games, food, and good company, there's a place for everyone in our Flock Club. All are welcome to this free event regardless of birding experience level, membership status, or personal background.
