CSIRO Publishing, 2015. Paperback. New. Bird Minds provides a fresh view of the behavior of Australian native avifauna, presenting a portrait of cognitive well-equipped species, which is somewhat removed from the traditional image of birds as fluttering, colorful ornaments that tend to move like automata. The book will focus on the specific abilities of Australian birds, examining why they have had to find largely cognitive ways of adapting to difficult conditions. The demands of the Australian environment have led to the development of cognitively complex processes that are unique in the world, including complex behaviors such as grieving, deception, problem solving and the use of tools. Many Australian birds cooperate and defend each other, and exceptional ones go fishing by throwing breadcrumbs in the water, extract poisonous parts from prey and use tools to crack open eggshells and mussels.

Chicago Review Press, 1993. Hardcover. New/New. Pierce, Diane. This is the story of the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, Wis., and its founders. Twenty years ago as graduate students in ornithology at Cornell, Ron Sauey and George Archibald dreamed of saving endangered species of cranes and preserving wetlands. They started modestly, with a lease of the family farm from Sauey's parents and the acquisition of some blind and crippled birds. Katz, a contributor to Bird Watcher's Digest and Birder's World , follows the fortunes of the fledgling organization through its growing pains to its emergence as a major force in conservation. It is a captivating account of setbacks and triumphs. A virus killed 22 birds in two weeks and there was a devastating raccoon invasion. But ICF had notable success in artificial insemination and raising cranes in captivity. One of the highlights is the search for wintering Siberian cranes and the transport of fertile eggs from Russia to Baraboo, an example of true… Read More
