L'enigmàtic tarannà dels ocells

If in The Ingenuity of Birds Ackerman revealed the intelligence and social ability of birds, in this new book he shows us that birds do not have only one way of being, but that there is an astonishing variety of behaviors even within the same species. Focusing on the daily activity of birds, the author shows us that the most unusual and extreme behaviors provide a contrast to what birds usually do and, therefore, demolish attempts to explain ornithological diversity under a single umbrella. In this surprising work, Ackerman shows the mental flexibility of birds, a rich repertoire that in this edition has a particularly careful translation.
