From mobbing and mimicking to mating and joint nesting, birds are intelligent, sociable creatures that exhibit a wide array of behaviours. But why do they behave as they do? Bringing to light the remarkable actions of birds through examples from species around the world, this richly illustrated book presents engaging vignettes about the private lives of birds, all explained in an evolutionary context. It also explores the increasing focus on how individual birds differ in personality, and how big data and citizen scientists are helping to increase our understanding.
