Description

The cognitive abilities of birds are remarkable: hummingbirds integrate spatial and temporal information about food sources, day-old chicks have a sense of numbers, parrots can make and use tools, and ravens have sophisticated insights in social relationships. This volume describes the full range of avian cognitive abilities, the mechanisms behind such abilities and how they relate to the ecology of the species. Synthesising the latest research in avian cognition, a range of experts in the field provide first-hand insights into experimental procedures, outcomes and theoretical advances, including a discussion of how the findings in birds relate to the cognitive abilities of other species, including humans. The authors cover a range of topics such as spatial cognition, social learning, tool use, perceptual categorization and concept learning, providing the broader context for students and researchers interested in the current state of avian cognition research, its key questions and appropriate experimental approaches.

Author Biography:

Carel ten Cate is Professor of Animal Behaviour at Universiteit Leiden, the Netherlands. His research focuses on behavioural development and communication by vocal and visual signals in species ranging from birds and fish to humans. He also uses birds for comparative studies on the cognitive mechanisms relevant for speech and language processing in humans. Susan D. Healy is a Reader in Zoology at the University of St Andrews, Scotland and Executive Editor of Animal Behaviour. Her work integrates theoretical and empirical data from the fields of biology and psychology to investigate the behavioural ecology and neurobiology of animal cognition, with a focus on birds.
