    Professor Tim Birkhead (Sheffield University)

    Most people's notions of what it feels like to be a bird are very limited. Someone once described birds as 'a wing guided by an eye'. Another description was 'a flying machine with good vision'. Prof Birkhead will explain how birds perceive the world, and show how they are much more complex than these limited mechanical descriptions suggest - perhaps even able to experience emotions.

    Professor Birkhead is the author of Bird Sense.
