What can animals teach us about empathy, intelligence, and connection? In this episode of Wild Connection, bestselling author Sy Montgomery shares her journey and explores what chickens (and other animals) really know.

With over 30 books to her name—from The Soul of an Octopus to How to Be a Good Creature—Sy invites us to see the world through the eyes of others.

You can keep up with Sy and check out all of her books by heading to her website: https://symontgomery.com/ or on Instagram @Sytheauthor
