ACKERMAN, JENNIFER

The Bird Way

London, Corsair. 2020, Third Printing of This Edition. Hardcover, 8 vo. Book, blue cloth, 355 pages, illustrated with line drawings, bibliography, index, ever so slight soil to front panel of d.j. 'There is the mammal way and there is the bird way.' But the bird way is much more than a unique pattern of brain wiring, and lately, scientists have taken a new look at bird behaviours they have, for years, dismissed as anomalies or mysteries. What they are finding is upending the traditional view of how birds conduct their lives, how they communicate, forage, court, breed, survive..". Very Good/Very Good.
