But are they talking to us too? And could we ever learn to listen and understand what they’re trying to say? \u003cbr\u003eWith the doggedness of a journalist, the soul of an animal lover, and the wonder of a curious intellect, Amelia Thomas pursues the answer, determined to better listen to her own menagerie (a horse, pony, chickens, dogs, cat, mice, goat and pigs). Taking us on her journey of discovery through the scientific, practical, and spiritual ways people today are trying to listen to animals, she meets with animal behaviourists, anthrozoologists, pet psychics, animal trainers, AI experts, indigenous trackers and psychologists – all of whom are listening in vastly different ways to vastly different species.  \u003cbr\u003eFilled with warm wit, fascinating stories, and surprising science, What Do Sheep Think About the Weather is an illuminating, playful, and personal quest to understand animals on their own terms, rather than through a human lens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47289253855468,"sku":"9781783969234","price":46.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/fe3e76157a61c94e7b040396ec05c898.jpg?v=1770601017"},{"product_id":"what-sheep-think-about-the-weather-by-amelia-thomas-9781464218453","title":"What Sheep Think about the Weather","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre animals trying to tell us something—and have we been too distracted to notice?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt started with a hummingbird dive-bombing Amelia Thomas over her morning coffee, and a pair of piglets who just wouldn't stay put. Soon Amelia, journalist and new farmer, begins to question the communications of the creatures all around her: her pigs, her dogs, the pheasant family inhabiting her wood, her 'difficult' big red horse; even the earwigs in the farm's dark, damp corners.
