What Birds Are Saying and Why
Feb 04, 2014emilydickinson rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
Fascinating and informative. About how birds communicate, primarily through verbal messages but also through body language. Also reveals the "why" of the communication, usually in order to choose a mate or to protect territory. Written in simple, easy to understand language. Up-to-date as well, including information about Alex the famous African Gray Parrot who proved scientifically that birds are not just mimics; rather, some parrots are capable of using human language meaningfully. Recognizes that many birds are extremely intelligent, on a par with dolphins and chimps. Excellent illustrations plus additional information in back. Highly recommend.
