review 1: For anyone who has watched a corvid in their neighborhood, on the side of the highway or otherwise, this insightful book will give you a look into their world. By weaving science about bird brains and anecdotal observations from around the world the authors make a case for why we need to invest in our human-corvid relationships. A wonderful read that will leave you with a strong desire to make friends with a crow.
review 2: An enjoyable and educational read. I have always been drawn to crows and have appreciated them from afar. They are highly intelligent birds which will remember the face of someone who has wronged them and that of a friend. Ravens, Crows and other Corvids have been known to use sticks as tools and to use pieces of bark to windsurf off cliffs.
... more They are my kind of birds and I endeavor to befriend a few after reading this. less

Anecdotes plus brain science and the personal experiences of the author and illustrator.

Skip the science. Concentrate on the anecdotes. You will look at crows differently.

This was a good combination of scientific research and personal anecdotes.
