Summary:
Birds are astonishingly intelligent creatures. New research suggests that some birds rival primates and even humans in their remarkable forms of intelligence. Like humans, many birds have enormous brains relative to their size. Although small, bird brains are packed with neurons that allow them to punch well above their weight. Jennifer Ackerman explores the newly discovered brilliance of birds and how it came about.
