This book thoroughly examines avian intelligence, behaviour and individuality. Preferences, choices, motivation, and habits of species, flocks, and individual birds are discussed and compared. The book investigates who birds are and why they do what they do. Daily, seasonal, and play activities, creativity, reasoning abilities, problem-solving skills, social interaction, life stages, and communication patterns are described, and a distinction is made between vocalisations that are learned and those that are inherited. The behaviour and intelligence of both wild and pet birds is compared, and entire chapters are devoted to a single species. For Table of Contents, please click here.
