In the first days of spring, birds undergo a spectacular
metamorphosis. After a long winter of migration and peaceful
coexistence, they suddenly begin to sing with all their might,
varying each series of notes as if it were an audiophonic novel.
They cannot bear the presence of other birds and begin to threaten
and attack them if they cross a border, which might be invisible to
human eyes but seems perfectly tangible to birds. Is this display
of bird aggression just a pretence, a game that all birds play? Or
do birds suddenly become territorial - and, if so, why? By
attending carefully to the ways that birds construct their worlds
and ornithologists have tried to understand them, Despret sheds
fresh light on the activities of both and, at the same time,
enables us to become more aware of the multiple worlds and modes of
existence that characterize the planet we share in common with
birds and other species.
