How animals talk : $b And other pleasant studies of birds and beast

"How Animals Talk: And Other Pleasant Studies of Birds and Beasts" by William J. Long is a collection of observations that dives into the secret world of animal communication. The book highlights how different animal species connect, not just with sounds but with instincts and emotions too. Long reflects on animals sharing information and feelings in ways that are felt more than heard. Using sweet stories, the book focuses on opening the reader's eyes to the complex language of animals, their behaviors, and their interactions with each other and people. The book starts off by using an example of two dogs silently and secretly working together to catch a woodchuck. It uses this encounter to demonstrate how animals can share thoughts and intentions without saying a word. It sets the stage for looking at the many silent ways animals share messages, showing that there's much more to their interactions than meets the eye.
