A richly illustrated, fascinating look at just how clever birds can be, this gorgeous book will delight the whole family.

From bowerbirds to blue tits, parrots to pigeons, fairy wrens to fork tailed drongos, a bird brain may be small, but it is mighty. Learn about crows in Japan using passing cars to crack nuts, woodpecker finches in the Galapagos creating their own foraging tools, or herons who use bread as bait for fishing. Covering everything from migration to nest-building, you'll never look at our feathered friends in the same way again.

Full of Kate Read's vibrant and detailed collage colour illustrations, this beautiful book makes the perfect gift for anyone interested in the natural world.
