The Bird Way

The Bird Way is an around-the-world look at bird behavior.

If you ever thought you knew what birds were like...well, read this book and I think you will find some big surprises.

Do you look at bird talk as mostly instinctive? Take a look at Chapters One, Two, and Three.

Think birds are generally monogamous? Read Chapter 9.

Believe that bird mothers are the ones who care for their babies? Try Chapters Twelve, Thirteen, and Fourteen.

Birds have much to teach us, I think. Humans have a lot to learn from the delight keas take in life, I think, and we could find out a lot from studying the collective childcare of the anis.

Note: It's probably just me, but I got a little overwhelmed with information in some of the text as the author shares factoid after factoid about birds. I had to step away from the text and look up videos and photos to better understand what the author was describing.
