Author, journalist, and naturalist Amelia Thomas says she has taught herself to understand what animals are saying and believes it’s a skill we can all develop.
Amelia says 'noticing' is the first and most crucial step to being able to communicate with animals. Simply taking enough time to stop, observe, and listen has transformed her relationship with her pigs, dogs, cat, and pony.
She's with Jim to talk about her book What Sheep Think About the Weather: How to Listen to What Animals are Trying to Say and to discuss the communication lessons she has learned.
Amelia Thomas is also the author of The Zoo on the Road to Nablus, which tells the true story of the last Palestinian zoo. Photo: Supplied
