About this listen

For the whole of human history, we have lived alongside birds. We have hunted and domesticated them for food; venerated them in our mythologies, religion and rituals; exploited them for their natural resources; and been inspired by them for our music, art and poetry.

In Ten Birds That Changed the World, naturalist and author Stephen Moss tells the gripping story of this long and eventful relationship through ten key species from all seven of the world's continents. From Odin's faithful raven companions to Darwin's finches, and from the wild turkey of the Americas to the emperor penguin as potent symbol of the climate crisis, this is a fascinating, eye-opening and endlessly engaging work of natural history.

Interesting - but too many anecdotes

Love the topic, but I feel the selection could have been different. Not all the birds have changed the world, but were more cjanged themselves.

The topic is more a review of how human activity has and is impacting our planet, and this is illustrated by some of the grim consequences this has had for birds.

But all in all very enjoyable.
