| Abstract | In this work, animal behavior researcher Louis Lefebvre examines cognitive abilities, innovation, and learning in birds. Drawing on decades of scientific research and observations of species such as crows, parrots, finches, and tits, he explores how birds solve problems, adapt to changing environments, develop new behaviors, and transmit knowledge within populations. The book discusses the evolutionary and ecological factors associated with avian intelligence and reviews methods used to study and compare innovation among bird species. |
