This book deals with the question of instinct and intelligence in birds.
“It may be safely said that birds seem to have much more capacity for
perceiving beauty, much more gift for social enjoyment, a finer knowledge of
distance and direction, and more power of vocal imitation, than any other
order of animals of which we know anything... They obviously get a knowledge
of geography, and, in some sense, of the air and its currents, such as no
other creatures can have. They have an ear for music, and an eye for harmony
of form and color, and probably of movement – for there are bird-dances which
Taglioni would have despaired of imitating – such as no other member of the
animal world possesses; and the perception of beauty, we know, depends on
nothing so much as the coup d'œil, and this birds can always command.” (The
Intellectual Powers of Birds)
