Bird Brains: The Intelligence of Crows, Ravens, Magpies, and Jays [Anglais] [Broché]

Now in paperback! Examines the lives and behaviors of the highly intelligent members of the crow family, corvids, and includes 61 dramatic images from the world's top nature photographers.

Birds have long been considered the archetypal featherheads, beautiful but dumb. In this original and scrupulously researched text, naturalist Candace Savage describes the life and behavior of 16 representative species of the crow family (corvids) that inhabit North America and Europe, proving that birds are actually quite intelligent. A remarkable collection of full-color photos by more than two dozen of the world's best wildlife photographers highlights this elegant and unusual book.

Candace Savage is the author of numerous internationally acclaimed books of natural history, including The World of the Wolf, Wild Cats (Sierra Club, 1994) and Aurora: The Mysterious Northern Lights.
