Admission: didn't finish it. The stories used to explain the key traits and learnings about bird intelligence were engaging to a point. I eventually grew restless and moved on.
User Profile
Avid but slow-ish reader. I'm usually reading one fiction and one non-fiction book at a time. I love fantasy and hard sci-fi, mystery series. Non-fiction reading ranges from business and self-improvement to travel books and golf.
I hike, backpack, and walk. A lot. Much of the walking is on golf courses.
