The cognitive abilities of birds are remarkable: hummingbirds
integrate spatial and temporal information about food sources,
day-old chicks have a sense of numbers, parrots can make and use
tools, and ravens have sophisticated insights in social
relationships. This volume describes the full range of avian
cognitive abilities, the mechanisms behind such abilities and how
they relate to the ecology of the species. Synthesising the latest
research in avian cognition, a range of experts in the field
provide first-hand insights into experimental procedures, outcomes
and theoretical advances, including a discussion of how the
findings in birds relate to the cognitive abilities of other
species, including humans. The authors cover a range of topics such
as spatial cognition, social learning, tool use, perceptual
categorization and concept learning, providing the broader context
for students and researchers interested in the current state of
avian cognition research, its key questions and appropriate
experimental approaches.
