You've watched a crow on the lamppost watching you back, and you've wondered what it's actually thinking. You want the real answer, with the science intact. This audiobook brings you close to the corvids living on your own streets: American crows, common ravens, blue jays and magpies. Each standalone chapter opens on a living scene and follows one well-documented behaviour. You'll hear about crows that remember a human face for years and birds that gather around their dead. There are jays that cache food and plan ahead, corvids that solve multi-step puzzles, and ravens that partner with wolves. Every chapter closes with an honest look at what researchers know and what they're still guessing, so famous gift-giving stories are framed as the anecdotes they are. Afterward, your daily walk changes. You'll notice the sentry on the rooftop, the cache hidden in the lawn and the quiet calls between families. Press play and start seeing the clever neighbours who have been watching you all along.
