Bird Brain

It’s used as an insult – ‘bird brain’ – not very bright. But new research means this may no longer apply. This film shows how bird intelligence can even be compared to that of the apes.

With a combination of wild observations and specially designed tests, this film will guide us through the latest research on bird intelligence, a journey which will re-define the meaning of ‘bird-brained’.
