Brilliant Bird Brains (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Our understanding of animal intelligence beyond our own is changing. Scientists are saying hey, don’t imagine human intelligence is so entirely singular. Exhibit A might be birds. Once we said “birdbrained” as an insult. But research of years now is showing birds as anything but dumb. And some, you might call geniuses. This hour On Point, we’re talking hornbills, grackles, kingfishers, crows – and the often astonishing genius of birds. — Tom Ashbrook
