The Parrot's Lament :
And Other True Tales of Animal Intrigue, Intelligence, and Ingenuity
Book Description
A gorilla shrewdly sells back a missing key chain to the highest bidder.
An orangutan picks a lock to let himself out of his zoo enclosure and
two elephants adopt a tag-team strategy to keep their handlers from
putting them back into theirs. In The Parrot's Lament, noted
environmentalist Eugene Linden offers more than one hundred true
anecdotes about animal acts of cooperation, heroism, escape--even tales
of deception or manipulation of human beings. Drawing on the
first-person experiences of veterinarians, field biologists,
researchers, and trainers, Linden has compiled a warmly entertaining and
powerfully persuasive argument for animal consciousness that, while not
human, far exceeds what humans usually grant animals. Scientifically
sound and emotionally compelling, The Parrot's Lament contains
remarkable stories that are sure to resonate with animal lovers, turning
skeptics everywhere into believers.
