"[This book] answers a lot of questions about birds that we never knew we wanted to ask. [It] offers hundreds of facts in such an interesting way that we'll keep right on reading." ------Knoxville News-Sentinel
Did you know…
· That the common cuckoo relies entirely on other birds to raise its young?
· That, when food is scarce, barn owl parents will sometimes eat their young?
· That blue jays spread crushed ants under their feathers as a sort of beauty cream?
These are just a few of the amazing facts you will learn in "The Secret lives of Birds", an entertaining and unpredictable tour of the sometimes baffling world of our avian companions. From absurd courtship and mating rituals to unusual nesting and grooming habits, "The Secret Lives of Birds" provides all kinds of surprising information on these fascinating creatures.
Compelling, engaging, sometimes revolting but always illuminating, this delightful book, which is complemented throughout the dozens of black&white and color illustrations, is a treat for any fan of our fine-feathered friends.'
