"ho would have thought garden birds were so clever? AH over the country, they've been solving intelligence tests faster than they can be designed. Pulling out matchsticks, working levers, Pecking coloured discs, ending on see-saws, pushing Wng-pong balls.
This programme sets out to find the brightest bird of all, Put also asks: 'Is this really Intelligence?' In the countryside, birds display JUst as much cleverness, in their daily search for food.
All the same, the bird which solves the toughest test of all does show remarkable "lgenuity - possibly something more than simply trial and error.

Max and Lionel are two of the world's losers.
When they meet, hitch-hiking on a deserted
Californian road, they strike up an unlikely, but deep, relationship. Max, newly released from prison, is older, tougher. 'Lion', back from six years at sea, is a natural clown, with little respect for authority. They cross country, hoping to start a new life together in Pittsburgh. But the duo have a knack of attracting trouble and their trip proves savagely eventful before the disturbing journey's end.
