«The Genius of Birds» is the popular science essay by Jennifer Ackerman, published by Penguin Press in hardback (405 pages, in English).
Jennifer Ackerman examines the intelligence of birds based on recent research: their brain, small but dense in neurons, allows them abilities comparable to those of primates and even humans, and she explains how that brilliance arose and what it implies for our understanding of intelligence.
In 2017 it was nominated for the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award; in 2016, for the Goodreads Choice Award in the science and technology category.
For readers interested in ornithology, biology, and bird behavior.
