From prehistoric cave paintings to the prints and etchings of Picasso, owls have captivated and inspired us for millennia. Whether they appear as ancient Athenian symbols of wisdom, ghostly harbingers of death, or the cuddly sidekicks of Harry Potter and Winnie the Pooh, these birds have continued to fascinate and disturb us in equal measure. Through revelatory new behavioural research, Jennifer Ackerman provides an intimate glimpse into these magnificent creatures' lives. From the evolutionary quirks behind their silent flight and rotating heads, to their romantic relationships and parenting styles, What an Owl Knows brings the rich natural history of owls to life. Deftly weaving together science and art, Ackerman journeys into the owl's moonlit world and asks: what is it about these birds that so enthrals us?

I like the way the author explains the science by telling the stories of the individual researchers. It brings their experiences to life as you imagine yourself in a moonlit quarry in the middle of the night just listening with anticipation.
I was a bit put off by Ackerman's american accent for around 5 minutes, but her enthusiasm comes through in the reading and I was hooked for the rest of the book. Love it! Love it! Love it! I will listen to this book again and again.

Loved it!

A wonderful journey with an incredibly knowledgable guide into the wonderful world of owls. There’s so much to take in that I’ll enjoy listening to it all over again.

Lots of information delivered in an interesting and engaging way. Great author/ narrator performance too.

Fascinating

This book is not so much about the owl as it is about the ornithologist that study them and the implements they come up with in order to do so, the whole thing told in an utterly boring way. I wonder how much harm all that poking and handling causes them?

Impossibly boring
