Description

 							
  
  Published
2003
  
  The creation of Dolly the sheep in the 1990s was for many people the start of a new era: the age of
genetically modified animals. However, the idea was not new, for in the 1920s an amateur scientist, Hans Duncker,
decided to genetically engineer a red canary.
  
  Favored originally for their voice, by the middle of the
nineteenth century canaries had become so popular that millions were exported from Europe to the United States to
satisfy demand. During the 1870s, English canary breeders caused a scandal by feeding their birds red peppers to turn
them orange. In the 1930s, Duncker's genetics efforts caught the attention of the Nazi regime who saw him as a champion
of their eugenic policies, even though his ingenious experiments were not successful.
  
  Nonetheless,
Duncker's work paved the way thirty years later for an Englishman, Anthony Gill, and an American, Charles Bennett, to
succeed, after recognizing that the red canary would need to be a product of both nature and nurture. In Tim Birkhead's
masterful hands, this highly original narrative reveals how the obsession of bird keepers turned the wild canary from
green to red, and in the process, heralded exciting but controversial developments in genetic manipulation.

  Review
  
  “A grand story.” ―Scientific American
  
 
“The Red Canary read like a fine novel.” ―Matt Ridley
  
  “The attempt to get at
what a bird sees, hears, feels and thinks is more than worth the effort because there are so many intriguing facts and
stories that the reader learns along the way. Remarkable in [its] celebration of birds.” ―James Gorman, The
New York Times, on Bird Sense
  
  “A collective portrait of birds that is deeply stirring and inspires
awe at our own species and its capacity for such intense curiosity.” ―Jonathan Rosen, The Wall Street
Journal, on Bird Sense
