Corvus: A Life With Birds

One spring, many years ago, Esther Woolfson`s daughter rescued a fledgling rook. That rook, named Chicken, quickly established herself as part of the family, and other birds, including an irascible cockatiel and a depressive parrot, soon followed. But it was the corvids – members of the crow family – who amazed Woolfson with their personality and their capacity for affection. This classic blend of memoir and natural history combines the author`s fascination with all things avian, from the mechanics of flight to the science of birdsong, with her funny, tender stories of life among the birds.
