What It’s Like to Be a Bird: From Flying to Nesting, Eating to Singing—What Birds Are Doing, and Why

David Allen Sibley explains how birds experience and navigate their world through more than 300 color illustrations, some shown life-size. Topics include senses, feathers, color, flight, swimming, migration, feeding, birdsong, nesting, and care of young. The book also considers birds’ roles in ecosystems and how human activity can assist or harm them. Bird-identification tips support its exploration of distinctive traits and shared characteristics.
