The Bird Way
BY JENNIFER ACKERMAN, LITTLE, BROWN BOOK GROUP, £14.99
From cave-dwelling oilbirds that use smell and sound to find their food by night, to the explosive vocal mimicry of lyrebirds in the depths of Australian forests, The Bird Way takes us on an enthralling journey through every aspect of bird behaviour, revealing just how complex and intelligent this fascinating group of animals is. Ackerman shows us what it is to see the world from a bird’s-eye view, drawing on eloquent scientific research and first-hand experiences all across the world, to give readers a new appreciation for birds and the immense variety of ways they communicate, socialise, mate, feed, play and sense the world around them.
