Consider the birds: who they are and what they do

Allen Lane - Penguin, London, 2008. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Illustrator: drawings. In Consider the Birds, Colin Tudge explores the life of birds, all around the globe. From the secrets of migration to their complicated family lives, their differing habitats and survival techniques to the secrets of flight, this is a fascinating account of how birds live, why they matter, and whether they really are dinosaurs. Featuring birds who navigate using star-maps, tool-making crows and the great co-operation of the penguins, Colin Tudge shows how birds - who are like us in the general sense but very different in the particulars - live and think. For birds have minds: they feel, they are aware, they work things out. And so, by considering the birds, asking how and why it is possible for them to be so different, we gain insight into ourselves. Birds are beautiful, lively, intriguing - and all around us. Toning of the top and bottom of the page edges from exposure to light. Proof Copy. Size: Trade Paperback.
