Description

Crows are renowned for their intelligence and complex social behaviour, with brains that are unusually large for their body size. This remarkable bird species has evolved to think, plan, and reconsider its actions, often exhibiting a unique form of eloquence. In the wild, crows form long-term relationships, mate for life, and associate with relatives and neighbours for years. In return for food and care, they often give gifts to humans, showcasing their capacity for affection and connection. Scientist John Marzluff and artist-naturalist Tony Angell team up to share astonishing stories of crows, exploring their intelligence, social behaviour, and fascinating abilities. From gathering around the dead to warning of impending doom, crows demonstrate remarkable traits, including language, delinquency, and passion. With captivating stories, beautiful line drawings, and a lively narrative, this book offers an in-depth look at these complex creatures and the traits we share with them. This book is a captivating blend of science, art, and storytelling, making it a compelling read for birdwatchers, animal lovers, and fans of nature writing.
