Description

Candace Savage presents a remarkable collection of full-color, close-up photographs of the Corvid family, a group of birds that have long been misunderstood as being dim-witted. In reality, these birds possess remarkable powers of abstraction, memory, and creativity, rivaling those of many mammals and even higher primates. Savage's lively text describes the life and behavior of 16 representative Corvid species found in North America and Europe, drawing on recent research. The birds featured are remarkable for their ability to recognize each other as individuals, call one another by name, remember and relocate thousands of hidden food caches, and engage in true teamwork and purposeful play.
