About this Event:
Tim Birkhead has written the first popular book about the senses of birds. If you ever wanted to know what it is like to be a swift and fly at more than 100kph, or what is going on inside the head of a nightingale when it sings, then those questions and many more are answered here. Birkhead has spent a lifetime observing and studying birds. His Wisdom of Birds was widely acclaimed for its grasp of the subject and for its entertaining and informative style.
Birkhead, a professor in the University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, says we have consistently underestimated what is going on in a bird’s head.
