Warm Nests - What we can learn from birds

Ernst Paul Dörfler Ute Bartels

Birds aren’t just ahead of us in their ability to fly. Warblers can predict natural disasters, jays have memories like twelve elephants and zebra finches can report the weather to their chicks through the eggshell. What’s more, geese are loving adoptive parents. The award-winning conservationist Ernst Paul Dörfler guides us through the fascinating world of birds, which behave towards each other more peacefully and justly than us humans.

An astonishing book, Warm Nests details the remarkable social skills of our feathered

friends – from empathetic magpies to monogamous swans and caring raven parents. It

is also an enjoyable and unusual appeal to halt the disappearance of native birds.

Why birds are more peaceful, more caring and deal with each other more humanly than us.

New ways in which we can halt the disappearance of birds

»A vividly written declaration of love for birds providing plenty of examples
and studded with personal anecdotes.«

»Dörfler is an in-depth expert on
threatened bird species.«

»He writes with a great deal of affection and admiration, not only for the proud white-tailed eagle,
but also for chickens and sparrows; this does not make the writing any less scientific, but simply
very worthwhile to read. The author’s narrative voice is the book’s main quality – Dörfler can write
extremely well and tell stories very beautifully.«
