Description
Birds is a beautiful introduction to 75 of our feathered friends.
From the everyday birds we see in our backyards to the rare species that we might never catch a glimpse of, the world of birds is vast and varied. They can be found in every habitat on earth, including penguins in the Antarctic, flycatchers in tropical forests, and flamingos on Caribbean shores.
Using beautifully coloured illustrations, this book showcases a select few from this diverse class of animals. Water birds, including ducks and herons, songbirds, birds of prey, cuckoos, woodpeckers and hummingbirds are all featured to show the range of avian life around us. With information about courtship displays, breeding strategies, nesting habits and egg types, Birds is a handy guide to their lifestyles, habitats and plumage.

Nicola W, Reviewer
A great little book all about our feathery friends! Very accessible and very easy to read, with a fab layout and some great information included. Whether you’re a bird enthusiast and all round bird lover, or just want to know more, this book is great.
The book opens with a chapter on all things bird; their background, evolution, breeding behaviours and nesting. It was a great introduction before it lead on to the main section, with a page dedicated to each bird.
Filled with some lovely illustrations, each page describes the bird, sums up its behaviours and breeding as well as where they can be found and in what habitats. It makes a great reference book or a book to read through to learn more about birds you may encounter. There did seem to be a bit of a random hodge podge of bird selection though but it was great to read nonetheless.
I hadn’t heard of a fair few of the birds included here so it was great to read. I loved the layout and how the information was laid out on the page, it made for effortless reading!
A definite recommend for all the bird lovers out there or anyone who wants to know more our avian neighbors.
