What the Chicken Knows by Sy MontgomeryRead about another entry on the list.
The American naturalist and author of the beloved non-fiction book Soul of an Octopus shares insight into the world’s most familiar bird, in part through the flock of personalities in her own backyard, detailing their long memories, for instance, and capacity for spatial learning. Based on a chapter from her 2010 Birdology, What the Chicken Knows has just been published in a charming gift-book format for the holidays.
