Guest review of Why Do Birds Do That?
I was so happy to win this book in a competition because I knew of two young avid bird enthusiasts who would be fascinated by the facts and information found within.
The book was shared between the cousins and here is what they thought of it...
Dom, 13
I enjoyed reading the book as I am crazy about birds. I like the way the book was written with the questions and then the answer was given in the first two lines. I really liked how it gave me extra information on the bird behaviour.
Owen, 13
It was a good book for anyone interested in birds. I liked the book because it answers common questions on birds. I liked the way the book was written with questions and answers, and it was easy to read.
Dom and Owen enjoy going bird watching and talking about birds. They have attended bird watching events with local bird observers club.
Thank you Dom and Owen for your reviews. I am pleased you both enjoyed the book.
About the book
For thousands of years birds have fascinated us. We've observed what
they do - their behaviours, their characteristics, their survival
skills, the food they eat and their habitats - and wondered why they do
it.
Why Do Birds Do That? answers many of these often-asked questions, such as: Why do birds sing in the mornings? Why are some birds so colourful and others are not? Why do starlings form murmurations? Why do birds have 3 eyelids? and Why do birds attack their own reflections?
In an easy-to-find question & answer format, Why Do Birds Do That? provides fascinating and comprehensive information about the birds we watch every day.
If you have ever wondered why birds behave as they do, you will find the answers in this book.
