AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Chisholm discusses the interactions between birds and humans. While birds can learn to approach people for food, he also explains how the white-eared honeyeater has learned to obtain human hair for their nests. In other examples he relates anecdotes where birds, and in one case a hare, have approached humans, apparently seeking protection from predators.
