What It’s Like To Be A Bird
By David Allen Sibley
A comprehensive guide on birds from the use of feathers to their survival.
What I liked about this book:
This book was written in a simple and concise way that dives into a variety of birds from around North America. The chapters were short, but I learned a variety of things, such as: the digestive tract system of Surf Scoters, what birds do when they make their nests, and the meaning of some bird cries. I felt that this book was written for a beginner like me! This book also inspired me to “match the name” with the birds I saw on the walks I took.
Who might enjoy this book:
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about the birds living beside them. Also, anyone who wants a stress-free read, full of interesting facts and diagrams. I was blown away by all of the things I didn’t know and look forward to learning more.
More about the book:
This book answers both common and complex questions about a variety of bird species that we see on a day-to-day basis in North America, and birds that you may not know about. This book also details a variety of scientific information about birds’ evolution and life we don’t see.
