Jennifer Ackerman is a New York Times bestselling author who has been writing about birds, science, and nature for more than three decades. Over the course of two groundbreaking books, The Genius of Birds and 2020s The Bird Way, she has taken an in-depth look at the wonders of bird behavior and helped to redefine how we think about bird intelligence. Her global travels observing bird behavior and studying bird intelligence have seen her observing tool use by New Caledonian Crows, playing with Keas in New Zealand, and witnessing the surreal decorative displays of bowerbirds.

Join Chris and Diego on Studio Sessions as they sit down with Jennifer for expansive conservation covering everything from mimicry and tool use in birds, to the science behind bird displays and lekking. Plus, you can find out why bald birders might want to proceed with caution around a certain bearded bird of prey.
