The Bluebird Effect: Uncommon Bonds with Common Birds

The Bluebird Effect is about what happens when, by virtue of raising it when it's orphaned or helping it when it's hurt, you are taken into the confidence of a wild bird. It's about the unexpected mental and emotional capacities of birds, especially songbirds, which we tend to underestimate and overlook. Everyone knows that crows, ravens, and parrots are intelligent, but have you thought about hummingbirds? Julie Zickefoose has a unique perspective, having been mother to six. And chimney swifts, cedar waxwings, mourning doves, cardinals, and rose-breasted grosbeaks, to name a few. Join her for an intimate, eye-opening look at the rich mental and emotional landscape of birds.
