| Summary |
A combination of stories, lyrical poems, photographs, and fascinating scientific facts about our flying, feathery friends. It highlights the role birds play in human life from centuries ago to present day detailing history and behaviour to spotting and photographing. Young birders will learn all about migration and the importance of habitat conservation. They'll find stories about bird rescues and fun facts about the fastest, strongest, and tiniest fliers. They'll also discover the best bird nests, sweet songs to sing, ways to listen for and identify the birds around them, and more. This book was created to help celebrate Year of the Bird, National Geographic's 2018 initiative to bring awareness to the plight of birds around the world. |
