Jennifer Ackerman, author of the New York Times bestseller “The Genius of Birds,” has written a new book about the latest research into bird life.

“The Bird Way: A New Look at How Birds Talk, Work, Play, Parent and Think,” published by Penguin Press, is scheduled for a May 5 release. The new book draws on new findings about bird behavior and Ackerman’s own field observations around the world, from Australia to Japan to Austria to Alaska.
