What is it like to be a bird? About flying and nesting, feeding and singing. How and what do the most famous birds live on?

Can birds feel smells? Do migratory birds return to their former places? Do raspberries hear worms?
The life experience of birds is much richer, more complicated and "more thoughtful" than you can imagine. Birds constantly make independent decisions. For example, without instructions, they can change their approach to the construction of a nest, depending on local conditions and the availability of various materials. They can quickly twist the nest when cold weather on the onset of it, adding additional insulation.
The tit, which flies to your feeder to enjoy, makes a choice: what kind of seed to grab and what to do with it later - to hide or eat.

In this book, the famous author and illustrator of a successful series of guidebooks by nature David Sibli answers frequently asked questions about the birds that we see every day. This unique guide to the world of birds has become a bestseller on Amazon. More than 5,000 lovers of birds and obsessed ornithologists appreciated the incredible facts from the life of birds, but at the same time the ease of presentation and more than 330 bright illustrations allow you to instill love for birds even to small readers. The author describes more than two hundred species of birds, both most popular in our area and rarely found.

"Each new book of Sibli is an event ... A fun, saturated with information, an encyclopedia about bird behavior. The illustrations of the blue, many of which are in full -size, put his book in the art section. Birds, captured by pencil and gouache, are as accurate from a scientific point of view as the birds of Peterson or Odubon, but more lively ... American raspberry in a rusty red dickensovsky vest, combat, with copper feathers, red-tailed hawk, vigilantly observing along the country road - these and other birds are presented on the pages of the book and, it seems, are ready to fly up.
