"Guide to the birds that children see and hear in their everyday lives, those that visit our backyards. Some of those will be native birds, maybe t¿±i, korimako/bellbird and p±wakawaka/fantail, though just as likely they will be introduced birds such as thrush, blackbirds, or flocks of sparrows. This book brings to life our most accessible wildlife, describing the different birds we are likely to see around home, and with useful background information about birds in general"--Back cover.
