"Soon after I began to study birds," writes Alexander Skutch, "I began to wonder about their psychic lives." After a lifetime of investigation, the esteemed ornithologist has come to believe that the tiny brain of a bird is indeed large enough to contain the process we know as intelligence, a capacity that for much of this century has been thought to be reserved for humans. Building his case around anecdotes drawn from more than 60 years of observation, Skutch will likely persuade all but the most dogmatic skeptic that the minds of birds are "among the most wonderful pieces of organized matter that nature has produced."

The New York Times Book Review, Joseph Kastner
The Minds of Birds is a marvelous anthology of classic bird stories, a measured brief for a radical judgment ... questioning a basic tenet of our self-assumed uniqueness in nature.
