4.9/5 (33168 ratings)

Description:Outwitted by Chickens tells the story of what happened after a junglefowl chick with one wing was delivered to a clinic for distressed seabirds in Tahiti. When two more were brought to keep her company, they grew up into highly bred fighting cocks. When they fought, the loser went wild, and was soon the alpha male on the richly jungled slopes of The Sacred Mountain in Mo’orea, while the winner sired a flock who roamed in the garden.The book tells the stories of the garden flock and the wild flock and thus we discover the natural behaviour of these highly communicative, social, and intelligent fighting birds. There are a variety of striking characters, both male and female, whose stories take you right into the society of these unusual birds.Like the author’s earlier work, The Shark Sessions, this book comprises eight years of intensive observation of the lives of junglefowl, the living ancestor of the domesticated chicken.An important theme is their high intelligence. They are highly social and excel at communicating—they communicate about everything that concerns them—the sounds they hear, possible dangers, the other individuals nearby, their wishes and needs, their likes and dislikes, and the weather. And with each comment, the bird’s tone of voice and accompanying gestures show their feelings about the matter.Deception is another ability at which they are remarkably successful.All aspects of the birds lives is described, from the concerns of the hen brooding eggs, to the difficulties of chicks, to two warring leaders who are trying to kill each other. And in the end, an unexpected parallel with our own species is revealed.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
