From their sophisticated bathing traditions to their spring broodiness and inclination to cache food in the absolute most improbable locations, these corvids reveal a relationship with humans that certain may not have thought before scanning this book.Letting her expertise speak for itself, Woolfson likens the concerns and foibles of corvids to those of humans, considering the technology of bird intelligence, development, tune, and trip. She illustrates their large people and convenience of love: while she enjoys night throat scrapes on Woolfson’s leg, Poultry dislikes devices and computers.
