A delightful exploration of chickens as intelligent and complex creatures, prompting us to reconsider our perceptions of these common animals.

December Special! with Author Sy Montgomery

Guest: Sy Montgomery is a celebrated naturalist, author, and adventurer whose work has taken her to some of the wildest places on Earth. The Boston Globe described her as “Part Indiana Jones and Part Emily Dickenson”. With 38 books to her name, including The Soul of an Octopus, The Good Good Pig, and now, What a Chicken Knows,  Montgomery has won numerous awards for her writing. She continues to inspire readers of all ages by exploring the profound connections between humans and animals at a critical moment for our planet’s future.

Book Recommendations:  Exodus: Book 2-The Bible by Someone who was there?
(I don’t think you need a link for this one) But her reason for choosing this one is apropos.

Humans interact with animals every day of our lives. Even those without pets interact with animals in various ways: diet, wildlife, the clothes they wear. Even most medicines use animals in testing or in the medicine itself. This is a podcast about Anthrozoology: the study of interaction between humans and non-human animals.
