Birds are interesting creatures. But for many of us they are so far removed from our day to day experience, at least in terms of having any meaningful contact with their lives, that we do know know, or understand, much of what happens to them. And for many of us, there is also the unfortunate prejudice of taking birds for being creatures that lack that feature we so highly value—intelligence.

So this book tries to tackle this two difficulties by providing lots of meaningful facts and also factoids about birds that gives us a glimpse both of their colorful lives as well as their prowess in regards to their smartness. Since their world is so rife in challenges, be it from the many dangers they face as well as from the competition from their peers, birds have developed many tricks that make them unique creatures, endowed with a particular kind of intelligence that, in their own way, deserves our respect.

So, for those of us that know little of birds and would like to know a little bit more; that are culturally prejudiced against their many qualities, thus not giving them the proper respect they deserve; this book is sure worth of your time and attention.
