Lecture - Bird Sense

For ages 14+.

What is it like to be a bird? Birds see better and differently from us; their sense of smell, touch and taste are much better than we have so far imagined. Certain birds possess senses that we can hardly begin to imagine, like echolocation and the ability to detect distant rain. For some reason we have an oddly limited sense of what it is like to be a bird. Join Professor Tim Birkhead as he looks to rectify any misconceptions we might have and in doing so, change the way we think about birds.

Tickets must be reserved in advance.
