Mind of the Raven: Investigations and Adventures with Wolf-Birds by Bernd HeinrichMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
From reading Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? and other things recently I have really come to see the tool-making, face-recognizing corvids as fascinating examples of an intelligence that can challenge our own supposed uniqueness as well as stretch the definitions of intelligences, learning, and consciousness. From methodical experiments to compelling anecdotes, this work covers all that in more in a fascinating account of observing ravens and being amazed.
