Bridget Stutchbury, a professor of biology at York University, roams forests and jungles studying the sexual antics and social lives of birds, and explains the science behind the surprisingly sophisticated and often amusing behavior of birds. In her new book The Private Lives of Birds, Stutchbury will explain, why some birds readily divorce their partners, why parents don’t treat their sons and daughters equally, why females sneak copulations with neighboring males, why mothers sometimes desert their babies, and why some adults forego breeding altogether.
